Could anyone tell me what these flowers are? They seem to be not quite lupin, not quite hollyhock, not quite foxglove!
They were flowering in April - these particular ones were after Agés and before Atapuerca.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Hi there, Kiwi family,
This plant is Esparcette.
Esparcette is a plant species from the family of the papilionaceous flowers. This is a group of protein-rich plants, which also includes the plant lucerne. Esparcette has long been used as good quality hay for horses that had to work hard on the land.
Buen Camino!
Greetings from Holland,

Onobrychis viciifolia, otherwise known, at least among anglophones, as sainfoin. Good photo showing its typical vetch-like leaves. I wish I’d seen it in such profusion!
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
