Little Red Riding Hood

Another small beauty to add to my "Wildflowers of Crete" set. This little flower definitely belongs to the legume family (Fabaceae/Leguminosae), but I don't know anything else about it. It's really small (~1cm) but lovely. When I was trying to think of a title, the popular fairytale (Κοκκινοσκουφίτσα in Greek) came to mind :-)

 

UPDATE: It's Asparagus pea (Lotus tetragonolobus), thanks Jenny Neal for the ID :-)

Have a great Friday (it's raining here today) and then go on and enjoy a wonderful weekend!
