Violet Helleborine Gloucestershire
As I was at Lower Woods checking out the Monotropoides Broad Leaved Helleborine, I thought I'd check out the Violets but I wasn't confident of finding any in flower. Luckily I found just one plant with the two lowest flowers open but plenty of plants still in bud.
I don't know what the tiny brown beetle is but they seem to love these plants and always seem to be in my photos of this species.
