Violet Helleborines, Epipactis purpurata are emerging in the High \weald, Sussex today

Violet Helleborines, Epipactis purpurata are emerging in this wood in the Sussex High Weald and the flower heads are expanding.

Above is one photographed 13th July 2012 at Wakehurst Place, for which I'm indebted to Ian from their staff, for showing it to me.  This one is really purple.
