| | | Broad-leaved Helleborine question After much searching, I've found 3 Broad-leaved Helleborine plants here on the Isle of Wight where they're considered "uncommon"/"rather rare".
They've got plenty of buds on them, but only 1 flower open at the moment.
Anyone got an idea of how long before the flowers will come out so I can revisit the site to get some decent photos?
They're on the edge of a sunny ride in woodland, and the forecast here for the next few days is dry, warm and sunny.

| | | Re: Broad-leaved Helleborine question Rog, most Broad-leaved Helleborines are now in full-flower.
Though in dry periods it's not unusual for some flowers to never open.
Normally if a plant has just a bottom flower open it will take at least a week to ten days for most of them to open.

Dorts. | Thanks, Dorts.
The open flower IS at the bottom, so I'll visit the site again the end of next week and hope for some more flowers.
