Love the detail in this view. I guess the violet refers to the inner parts? Nice to see this to compare with the "American" version. Mine have gone by , mostly, so can't get that kind of detail. Love this one though!

Hi Cindy, the leaves and stem have a distinct purple tinge, best seen prior to reaching full maturity and flowering state - see here.

Locally it is the last of our orchids to flower.

In some alpine valleys, late flowering orchids like Spiranthes spiralis can be found in autumn. 

Images are by my spouse ;)

Pretty combination of the two curving stems.
