Distilled sunlight

At Mud Bay, yesterday afternoon:

Birdsfoot trefoil. Orange and yellow flowers on the same stalk.

Red-tipped buds.

The plant. A legume, trailing and semi-erect, perennial.

Immature seed pods with strange pointy caps. Mature pods are fatter, and have dropped the cap.

Flowers and a visitor. Small orange butterfly, unidentified.
