I came across this colourful colony on a trip to the mountains today!

They were very eye-catching because of the shining colours, but quite small in size.

I don’t know much about the plant, but as I have observed they are not very common around here.

Any hint about name of the plant will be welcome!

------

Ulla Kruys (uleko) has identified this flower as Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). This has later been confirmed by Maite S Rivero (Maite). Thanks to you both!

------

I have included a 1:1 crop in WS to show some more details in the flower. This is NOT a macro shot!

Hi Pablo,
Wonderful splash of colours and life.
Though I'm an expert, this flower seems to be a Lathyrus sp. I hope this helps you a little.

Nice shot Pablo, frame-filling warm color..This would make a great wallpaper for the desktop :)
Have a great day.

Hi Pablo,
I've been flower hunting for the last couple of weeks. But if there is one thing that is really difficult for me, it is the ID of the flowers I find. I like the shapes and colors. But my knowledge is as limited as mine. You do know how to capture these flowers. The have wonderful colors and captured the beautiful summer light. Live the details you managed to capture.
TFS,

Hello Pablo,
Your beautiful capture shows Birdsfoot Trefoil, a plant pretty common here, often along the roadsides. It is the food plant for several blue butterflies.
Tfs and regards, Ulla

Is this the same yellow flower in the landscape? Beautiful color...so vivid and HAPPY. :)

Hello Pablo.
I have seen lots of this little flowers this very weekend in a trip to Cuenca, here in Spain. They are very small but very eye-catching with their pretty colors between yellow and orange. As Ulla says this is Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus).
A charming picture.
Thank you very much.

Hi Pablo, while the individual plants are small, as a group they do set up an interesting contrast with the bright yellows and oranges against that deep green. Nicely done.

Hi Pablo,
yellow,green and orange what a colourful capture is this one.I like the overall texture of this composition and the details.Maybe if you uploaded it a little closer in, my eyes could discern a little better what I'm looking at as the flowers look like snap dragons but I know they have already been identified as Birdsfoot Trefoil.Lovely photo and Tfs.

Hi dear Pablo;I liked this yellow color balance,and this your border very nice....

Hi Pablo!
It's some kind of Vicia (vitch) I think. Whatever is it's name, it's beautiful in it's brightly coloured multitude.

Hi Pablo,

What a colourful colony you saw there. I also confirm what Ulla has identified. You find this kind of plants in the Dunes of Holland and I find theme also in the mountains in Switserland. A beautiful and very small flower. Regards and TFS Bob

Hello Pablo !
This is a beautiful picture, these yellow flowers are gorgeous ! They grow in France too, but I could never give them a name, so today I learned something with this picture - and with the not ! :-) Composition is splendid, as well as the colors - the flowers really stand out nicely on the green BG. Very well done !
Valerie.

I have seen this wild flower many times, or one that looks like it. So very pretty, and cheerful!.

Hi Pablo,
Beautiful framing. A real treat for the eyes. Must have been very pretty.
