The blue flower is Spring Squill (Scilla verna) - I presume it was growing near the sea, it is generally a plant of cliff-tops |

hi
Im going to suggest that the second orchid is a Northern marsh. Colour looks reasonable plus you have the expected lip markings and shape. Top orchid difficult to say from that angle!
Love the sqill photos, found them myself last year.

The 1st orchid is Dactylorhiza maculata, the Heath Spotted-orchid the second is Dactylorhiza majalis var. purpurella, the Northern Marsh-orchid. |
