Early Purple Orchid

Near Silverdale on the border between Lancashire and Cumbria, I was looking for wild orchids - a bit early for many of the specials.

I was given directions for a single specimen of the Fly Orchid, and with some difficulty I found it and took photographs for my collection of 'Wildflowers I have seen'. But it was tiny, delicate, and I preferred the bolder but more common Early Purple -- which is what I think I have here.
