Ragged Fringed Orchid, Wild Lettuce, Spotted Knapweed and Knapweed Flower Weevils

Wet fields and meadows are habitat for Ragged Fringed Orchid.

Wild Lettuce is common in open places, often roadside thickets.

Roadsides and waste places host alien invasive Spotted Knapweed.

The insects on the flowers are probably Blunt Knapweed Flower Weevils introduced as a control for this species. The weevil larvae feed on Knapweed seeds. John
