Hi, this plant has just popped up in the garden. The little flowers remind me of orchids, am I right? Or is it something else completely. Look forward to your replies ????

I think it's Epipactus helleborine ... the Broad leaved Helleborine - yes, a type of orchid

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Agree with Dove..Epipactis helleborine.

Dove your link is odd .....says Broad leaved Helleborine but opens to something very different.
Try this instead: http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/species/broad-leaved-helleborine
