Hedge Woundwort

As its name suggests it has been used as a wound-healing herb and enjoyed quite a reputation in the past, as its other name, Allheal, suggests. Culpeper tells us that it is “inferior to none” in its ability to heal wounds. Although it is little used today it appears that it is a very powerful remedy that we should know more about. As well as being healing to the tissues, it also arrests bleeding and is an antiseptic. I am certainly going to make use of it myself as a first aid remedy.

some kind of orchid, very beautiful!

I agree with Berny. Although not an orchid, nor a nettle it looks like a cross between the two. Another fine shot!

And here's another great capture.
