Accrington Web - Today in pictures

I like cars from this era, I still have an early 90’s car although not roadworthy at the moment, it’s neither fast nor expensive (cost £325) but I couldn’t get rid, I hope to get it back running one day.

Discovered this solitary flower hiding in the middle of a beech hedge yesterday. I don’t know why but I think it may be some kind of orchid, although it doesn’t look like any pictures in my gardening/plant books.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Btw, I’m currently living in the warmer climes of Hampshire and spring is definitely started to ‘sprung’ down here.

Good shout, Stevie R, but looking at Early Gentians, I don’t think it’s that. (Btw, amazed that it’s claimed UK is only place in the world to find early gentian).
My photo is not that clear but I wonder if it’s a Bee Orchid.
This is a photo of a Bee Orchid from the web. Maybe the one in our garden isn’t fully developed yet?

Re: Today in pictures

Could the flower be a cyclamen, the leaves at the side look a bit like the sliver leaf variety.

Nah, it's just a fancy weed! As you can judge by my response, I don't do the garden/plant thing. :D

I think you may be right, Walker.
