Helliborine
I found one like this in North Warks last year and it was identified as a Broad-leaved Helliborine lacking the pigment Chorophyl known as Epipactis helliboirine- hypochromatic form they don't usually flower.

As a number of you know i have been doing a full orchid survey of the Peak District for the last three years. Whilst exploring new territory tonight i came across this bizzare flooking flower. I want to say that its Epipactis Purpurata Achlorophyllous, but there have never been any Violet Helleborines recorded in North Staffordshire, and the Chlorophyl lacking variety have never been recorded anywhere near this far north???
