Came across this one early this morning. Think it may be an early flowering purple one.

Crikurk, Willpar, "early" is the operative word !!!!

I reckon you're right with the identification - beautiful sight to behold

Some more orchids. Different ones this time.

Lovely to see all the grasses and buttercups too

I think you're having a joke, Willpar !!
Wonderful to see so many - obviously the perfect habitat

There are a lot more to come yet placi. The place where they are is living with them. One place has well lots. Watch this space.

Some wild orchid species are quite common locally. If they like the locality they thrive.
One of the rarer species, the Bee Orchid, I once found in a very unexpected place between the fences of a supermarket supply depot and a lorry/trailer park. It was only a strip about a yard wide but was undisturbed which I think is an Orchids biggest requirement.
