Yesterday we took a walk to see what this mystery "crop" was.
Surprisingly it was nothing more than a scattering of what I think is 'common stork's bill', a plant with a tiny little flower which, singly, is easy to overlook...
but, as this shot shows, when seen en masse the effect is quite spectacular..
With abject apologies to the late, great Jimi Hendrix!

It certainly looks like Common Stork's-bill... we've got two similar, but not so large, patches of colour in our meadow area... one is deep purple [Ground Ivy] and the other is sky blue [a Speedwell]... I've carefully cut round the edges of these... I hope they spread.
I found a couple of plants of a Stork's-bill as I was mowing... nowhere near as spectacular as this display... lovely, thanks for sharing it.
That is certainly the best display of Erodium I've ever seen. By golly they are difficult to photograph too. I have gazillions of out of focus, poorly coloured pics of them and I don't quite know what the problem is.
