Can anyone add to this as I feel they are both different flowers.
Hi Ian,
I know where you're coming from, but the left-most flower in the fourth picture looks very much like the third picture, I think this is just an artefact and they are both the same species.
As for the vetch-it looks like the start of a raceme rather than paired flowers, the colour is right for tufted too.
