Came across this colourful specimen today growing from a hedge alongside hedgerow cranesbill. Should have noted leaves but was immediately distracted by a spotted flycatcher. Any suggestions just from this flower photo. Many thanks in advance.

Have you got the Plantsnap app? It can be quite impressively accurate, as a start point.
I pointed it at your photo on-screen, and it came back with Pink Sorrell.

One of the naturalised wood sorrel species, probably Oxalis articulata, but can't rule out O. debilis with just a flower shot.

Thanks to both of you. I'll check leaves to be specific.
