Heath spotted orchid

Only a quick trip out today, as it is my 36th wedding anniversary and I had to make a nice meal for Mr U&l and I.
This is a beautiful Heath spotted orchid Dactylorhiza maculata, very similar to the Common spotted orchid, but with flowers with big 'blousy' lips covered in dots and dashes and growing in more 'heathland' situations. 
Another beauty, and as they were just coming into flower I will blip them again very soon.
