It looks like a kind of orchid with small thin green leaves.

I think they might be a type of jewel beetle...perhaps a buprestis rustica or relative there of. I was fascinated to see so many brilliant colored beetles in a computer image search! I just got back from ten days camping and posted some photos of some of the wildflowers I saw, most of which are nameless to me. I think your lamb likes butter, or at least buttercups :) I especially like that photo!

Wildflowers are abundant here too attracting butterflies and insects galore, but when you see them growing on cliffs against a backdrop of blue sparkling sea it is very special.

The cliffs look their best in spring and early summer with all the wildflowers. Thrift reminds me of early summer holidays in Cornwall and I love to see it.

It's considered a non-welcome invasive in many parts of the US. But, of course, it thrives! There's something about thistles that I've always loved--such beauty with all that prickliness. The buttercup under the lamb's chin is a marvelous shot.
