Usually the early purple has dark spots on the leaves,, it's also getting rather late for them with it being on the warm side widely.
They could be (southern or northern) Marsh Orchids
I'm no expert though and it's a total minefield with a lot of variations.
If you google that suggestion the images and colours vary quite lot, but they are like some I photographed here had professional ID as I hadn't seen them before.
