I went for a 12 mile walk yesterday and came back with a few photos.
I only saw 1 instance, of each of the plants in the pictures below.

I have looked through the Gallery and cannot find these, any ideas?
Could the first one be a butterfly orchid?
The next 3 are of the same plant.

No. 1 is Enchanter's Nightshade (Ciracea lutetiana)
No. 2-4 is Tutsan (Hypericum androsaemum)
No. 5 is Hard Fern (Blechnum spicant) with Rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum)

THANKS Tiggrx.
There dont seem to be many of these around my area. I might send them in to the Biodiversity Record Centre.

Is there a definative way to tell tutsan from cultivated relatives? I'm guessing probably not.....
