Can anyone tell me what this is. I just spotted it along the path when going for a walk. I saw a few on them, and I'm sure I've never seen one before.

Maybe we should start guessing what hedgerow flowers are out now?

I've answered on OP's other thread with the pic - I think it could be Purple Viper's Grass - Scorzonera purpurea.

I reckon salsify (only by googling scorzonera and accidentally finding a picture on the same page subsistencepatternfoodgarden.blogspot.co.uk/2009/06/other-roots.html )
