Early purple orchid

First of all a big thank you to everyone who showered me with lovely comments, stars and ❤️‘S for my Blip Anniversary yesterday. The one and only time I shall achieve the top page of popularity.
Today is warm and sunny again so we had a cycle ride along the coastal path and through the forest. I was surprised to see lots of these early orchids in flower. We usually see the pyramidal ones later in the year.
