Early purple orchid

I was pleased to notice these near a ditch in the local wood.

I was even more pleased to notice this single white petalled version...

Here's some that were coming up in my woods here in the US. My friend said they are called "Showy Orchid" the blooms are really small.

Here's also some Ginseng and Goldenseal growing back in my woods.

Cracking photos folks. We have some orchids growing where I work, but not as handsome as the ones you've got there. I'm dead jealous
