Wild orchid

At least I think this is what it is. I thought they were very pretty and they were growing along the river banks. I also walked along the river towards Tempsford as well. It was lovely as the sun came out and it was quite warm

A beautiful flower. A stranger to me. Nicely done.

Lovely delicate flower; nice shot Rosie.

It's Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) - a highly invasive exotic plant introduced in 1839. Beautiful but doing a cracking job of outcompeting our native riverside plants.

Beautiful shot though - the dof works brilliantly :)

Thank you for your kind comments and also for the info about what flower it is Lisa. It is pretty despite it taking over our countryside!

So fragile looking. Lovely composition!
