Is this plant worth going back for?

I don't know what it is but it does look interesting. Taken in chalk woodland this week. Any ideas?

Could it be a Solomon's-seal?

I'd say definitely! Looks like one of the helleborines to me. Couldn't tell you which one though - need a flower for that.

Heres hoping. I'll post some piccys next week.

I've noticed how I've started to plot out my jolly jaunts and I have quite a large memory bank of plants that I know are about to flower, just unbelievable how addicted I've become. This time last year, if someone had said, "you're going to be taking photos of nothing but flowers", I'd have probably laughed in their face!

I'm going to stick my neck out and say its going to turn out to be a Broad-leaved Helleborine.

I would say almost definately Broad-leaved Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine) too

[climbingjam]

I disagree. It looks more like a green-flowered helleborine to me

I think if a plant has caught your eye, it's always worth going back for as it will help that vegetative and not - yet-flowering form stick in your head for future identification

Place your bets here

My tast buds are tingling with anticipation now as I'm yet to find any Helleborines in flower.
