If it is I assume it the parasitic one I have forgotten the name of. It came up from nothing in about 10 days
This is in Italy if you are thinking its a bit early
Hmm, interesting. If it is an orchid then it would be birdsnest orchid, but I'm not convinced that it isn't a broomrape either. Would need to see a better shot of the flowers.
I think it's common broomrape, Orobanche minor, parasitizing on the clover plants surrounding it. Here in Holland this parasite is called 'klavervreter', which can be translated as 'clover-eater'.
Cheers,

I found birdsnest orchid myself today, and having seen it, I agree with Galemys that this is broomrape.
