These lovely plants are growing in a field by the footpath junction. Read about Bee Orchids on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Orchid in which amongst other things it says that it's the county flower of Bedfordshire. I didn't know counties had flowers, but apparently they do. Check out yours on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_flowers_of_the_United_Kingdom
