Pretty.

Trifolium rubens possibly, ornamental clover.

Doesn't look like Red Clover (T. pratense) that is used as green manure on allotments.

I think it's Trifolium incarnata, Crimson Clover. It will be a garden escape.

Could well be Crimson Clover as that is used as a green manure. I agree it is a bit short for T. rubens.

Thanks folks, I can see the clover resemblance now - although it hasn't got the classic clover leaf.

Definately not trifolium rubens. I grow that from seed and it's nothing like it.
