Limodorum abortivum
This is an interesting species into the iberian ones. It has not leaves and you can see the flower in the end of spring. It is supposed as a parasitic species, getting its nutrients from trees around. In the start of spring you can see their stems as a great purple asparagus.
It lives on soft soils as sand near to pine trees here in southern Spain.
