Wild Purple Orchid (red dead nettle)

There are hundreds of these in flower along my local nature trail, colours range from white to deep purple, ( Actually its a Red Dead Nettle)
Beautiful Peter. It is not a real orchid I presume, just called that because of the shape of the flowers?

@miata2u Thank you for your comments Peggy, I'm lucky living within 10 minute walk of a nature reserve, wild flower meadow and natural woodland, there are still lots of wild flowers out may have to put a collage together next;)

Wonderful capture Peter.Makes your nature walk worthwhile when you can photograph flowers etc along the way.It is so dry here at the moment that its hard to find anything to photograph except for some parks that are watered by council with the treated sewerage water.
