Torilis japonica (Japanese hedge parsley, erect hedgeparsley or upright hedge-parsley), a plant in the carrot family. T. japonica has potential to fight several cancers through a terpene it produces called Torilin, extracted from its fruits. There are also a couple of common red soldier beetles in the shot.

There were a lot of them engaged in special cuddles near these two. Moving swiftly on. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpuZmRnsT3/?igshid=nl4xnv16e4z7
