I have no idea, however what a pretty little thing.
What sort of size is it?
Havent a clue but it sure as hell isnt found in any UK hay meadow.
Looks like something from the magic roundabout.
Usually I like flower ID, and make my living buying and selling garden plants in the UK, but I don't recognise that. The closest I would come is one of the miniture wild tulips (certainly not UK native - more like Himalayas). Hard to say without seeing the foliage, but they come in lots of colours and can have very thin strappy leaves... a bit like [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/dougcwaylett/399894590/ ]THIS[/url] but red!
I have found another image which almost matches yours - but the photographer just calls it red, yellow and black flower!

Showing off my Google prowess, specifically it's a Sparaxis Tricolor. "Harlequin" just seems to be another name for Sparaxis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparaxis
The plant is native to southern Africa. It is present in California and Australia as an introduced species after having escaped from garden cultivation.
