What the heck is it???

United States

This plant came up voluntarily in my herb garden. We are in Idaho. It has a single large stem that is bright red for the 1st couple of inches out of the ground. The purple flowers are orchid type with a elephants trunk coming out of the base of the flower. They are attached directly to the stem. Have searched and searched the internet. Any thoughts.

A closr view of the flower and a leaf would be helpful, if you can manage it.

Hi,
Try Himalayan Balsam, it does look suspicously like it although it is a bit difficult to see it properly.
Hope you solve this.
