Hi Folks
I hope someone can identify this for me. It is about a foot tall, growing on chalk under a Birch tree. The flowers seem to have stoped opening and look like they are dying off. I can try for some better pic's if needed.
Thanks

Hi
It is White Helleborine (Cephalanthera damasonium). Looks like they have been nibbled early on and still trying to flower!
All the best

It looks like white helleborine, Cephelanthera damasonium (which I found once on the South Downs near Petersfield) |
