A Walk around Wolstonbury hill; Early-purple orchids emerging.

With such sunny weather today, a stroll up Wolstonbury hill was a joy.

Cuckoo-pint or Lords-and-Ladies, Arum maculatum is pushing up everywhere as is wild garlic.
However, the most exciting plant to see was an emerging Early-purple Orchid, below.

Orchis mascula, emerging from the earth.
