Dracunculus vulgaris Schott is the most spectacular plant in my bulb bed. The thick false stem reaches a height of 150 cm. The spathe is about 45 cm long and the erect darker shiny maroon spadix in the centre is about 30 cm long.
The striking beauty of this plant can be a little shocking: like many Araceae the mature inflorescence spreads a rotten meaty odor. The nasty smell of rotting meat is designed to attract colorful shiny carrion flies beetles and for pollination.

Joakim, the Dactylorhiza I received more than 30 years ago as D. foliosa.
Later I have noticed it is sterile and presume it must be some hybrid.
I just am using this name as there is no other name.
D.foliosa seems very rare on Madeira and I've only seen some very bad pictures
of that.
This plant reaches about 60 cm. at his best in full sun in my sandy soil.
I'll try to make another pic soon and show it here.

Now here some more plants of the garden:

Achillea Schwellenburg             
Phlox carolina Bill Baker   
Geranium Philipe Vapelle       
Lilium bulbiferum             
Geranium Sirak               
Paeonia lact. Wladislawa   
Salvia nemorosa Caradonna 
Salvia nemorosa Viola Klose   
Kniphofia caulescens 1         
Kniphofia caulescens 2

Thanks for the information Luit.
I would say that the plant was not wasting the 30 years but worked hard in increasing. :) Sounds like an impressive plant (and clone of whatever it is hyridized with).

Kind regards

Luit after looking for D. foliosa I have found this link. Where it is described in the location. Most others are in England.
The book of Buttler talks about D.foliosa as having close relationship with maculata and possible conections with D. elata.

Here is the link to a Check site.
http://botany.cz/en/dactylorhiza-foliosa/
Buttler shows to pictures in his "Field guide to Orchids of Britain and Europe" one being Your color and the other the colour in the link. For the one with Your colour it has "possible garden hybrid?" written after.

Edited later
Just saw that KEW had the type collected in Algeria!
Here is that link

Thank you Joakim. After looking at the pictures I only can say that my plant is very different,
from those original Madeiran plants.

Joakim, actually I don't have only one plant.
I show you here a photo from one of the remainings of a small part of our nursery.
In the empty spaces I planted  a Nothofagus, some shrubs and various perennials.
Before you ask why I have so many plants I can tell you, I was building op stock without selling plants.
When I was asked by traders if I wanted to sell about 6 years ago, I agreed.
But my price (appr. 30 % of consumer's price, what I believed being reasonable) was very much to high! :o :o
And I know that there are some of the traders are often lurking at these SRGC pages... ;)
The good thing about this all is that we can, every year when flowering enjoy the view out of our
window when sitting in the room. So I'm not moaning at all!  :D :D :D

Here is Lilium pumilum (syn. L. tenuifolium) from the greenhouse. I chose to grow it under glass as it has a very slender stem and my garden is very windy. Glad I did because it fills the greenhouse with it's scent.

Lovely lily. I planted out last year's seedlings in the garden today. Hopefully in a year or two I will have flowers  :)
