Pedicularis palustris.
Melog y waun
Red rattle or Marsh Lousewort.
At least, I think so. It was growing in a damp meadow not far from the river.

Ond, casglais i blodau wyllt ar gyfer penblwydd fy nghariad. Oedd llawer o blodau wahanol a pert yn ein milltir sgwar ni ac mae yna llydaid llo mawr, blodyn efwr, blodyn moronen y maes, Llysiau’r gingroen, Hocysen, y bengaled, a marchysgallen. Oedd yna cwpl arall nad oeddwn i’n eu hadnabod.
I collected some wildflowers for my partners birthday and there were loads of different and pretty flowers. There are ox eye daisies, hogweed flowers, wild carrot flowers, common ragwort, common mallow, knapweed, and spear thistle to name a few. There were a couple others I couldn’t identify.

This little moth (about 20mm wingtip to wingtip) was in the hand basin this morning so not outside at all, though it must have been before daylight came. When I disturbed it (for its own safety, of course) it settled on the wall.
To my eye it appeared almost pure white but oddly not to the camera.
