Looks like Anthyllis vulneraria coccinea

Another plant which, on seeing the picture here, I remember we used to grow - another case of being overgrown by other plants that we did not control enough.... :'(
I'm feeling rather guilty this year..... :-X

Thanks, Diane for your ID. At least it has some letters and even a word which remind of the plant expected. The point is I like it. Very rich color and striking habit. I will see if it self seeds here.
Do not be disappointed or feel guilty, Maggi. You have so many treasures in your garden! I wish I could see your garden in spring ,,in the flesh,, even without Anthyllis.
Thank you again.

As I am fond of saying (too fond my wife says) we have three kinds of plants in this garden. Dead, dying and thugs!

I like it and found it seeded about for a couple of years - not excessively though - then the next year, the whole lot were gone. I grew it from SRGC seed as Anthyllis montana 'Rubra.'
