    I agree with nutcutlet, Anthyllis vulneraria, common name kidney vetch. A wildflower but lovely all the same.

    Thank you pansyface, nutcutlet and Norfolkdumpling. I googled Anthyllis vulneraria and found it .I think it could be the variety coccinea.image

    It will be coccinea Fritillary, that describes the redness of it. A. vulneraria is yellow
