Orchis mascula

This orchis is quite common in Europe however not at all in the Netherlands. It seems to prefer lightly chalky or slightly acid loamy soil which is rare in Holland. Acid soil is usually sand and the loamy soild are often very chalky.
Nice detail about this species is that it's the type species of the orchid family and therefore the orchid of all orchids.
