Thank White Horse! My wife took this picture by her iphone, the flowers are out of focus. She has been looking on the net but can't find the answer, hopefully someone can identify them.

Best guess is Anacamptis picta - a wild orchid.

Thank you White Horse you are correct and from your suggestion I searched the internet and compared pictures with the actual speciment and I think it is Anacamptis champagneuxii.
Re: Can someone tell me what this wildflower is?
I guess that makes me correct too!

Torrox Campo:
I posted your picture on the IberiaNature forum and within a few hours it was identified by the experts over there.
So all credit to Brenda and Petrea who said it is in the Cynoglossum family, probably Cynoglossum cherifolium.
