Fairly unusual white form of the early purple orchid, taken in the same session as the normal purple form. The yellow lesser celandine is probably too intrusive.
Positioning the camera to isolate the flowers is not easy as its a large established colony of flower spikes, ie there are limited viewpoints without lying on the flowers
Given the windy conditions the last couple of days I haven't revisited the site yet to have another go, but I have some ideas to try and get a cleaner background.
Mike I understand what you say about trying to isolate the flower from the bg but the white flowers certainly stand out against the bg at the top of the image good luck with your new ideas.
