Saw this in a wood in Kent..
Seems to be a flower growing directly out of the ground - is it a ferm of some sort??

Can you help ID this woodland flower

Good find and not very common at all.  It doesn't hang around long when it flowers and my local patch has seemingly disappeared, or I just can't find it!
