Orchis mascula
After looking for these for weeks I finally found a field full of them, Early purple Orchids usually bloom from April to June and are one of the first to flower fully here but due to the cold/late spring are only just flowering in late May. They can range from pink to violet.
seen at Low common in Maltby which is owned by the Yorkshire wildlife trust due to it being a site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
About 50 separate plants were found in the same field along with 2 other orchid species.
