I don't have any clover here, but lots of flowers. We usually wait with the first cut in spring until the flowers are mostly gone. They displace grass unfortunately, but look very nice, and insects love them. https://i.imgur.com/sbqhEYt.jpeg

That is really nice, thanks for sharing.

Currently in the process of finding a house, and specifically avoiding HOAs. They'd never let something like this fly, which IMO should be illegal(not your yard, rules banning something like your yard).

I rent, but the homeowner doesn't care. We're three parties in the house, one neighbour doesn't care either, and the other neighbour's wife is sad if we cut the flowers :)
Wow! Do you happen to know what flowers you've got planted there? I would love to do similar. So far I've been doing lots of clover and putting in crocus bulbs randomly.
I didn't plant them, they grow like crazy and destroy the grass :D I don't know what they're called, but I could try one of those plant identification apps. Check back in a few days, I'll try to post a comment if I find out more.
Ah, I think they're of the genus Primula ("Primeln" in German).
Thanks!
