| | | Help with identification please Yesterday I went with a friend to the local builders merchants and as I pulled into the car park I noticed some helleborines growing on a wooded bank at the back of the car park.
Cheekily I went and asked for a ladder so I could investigate as there was a wall to conquer first.
I found E helleborine and noticed a smaller helleborine with lighter coloured flowers.
Today I went back with my camera and took the following pictures.
The leaf structure looked different from the broadleaf helleborine.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures but there was a lot of bramble growing around them.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Broad-leaved Helleborine - Epipactis helleborine is as variable a species as there is. Your plant is a pale form of Broad-leaved H.
Well worth climbing the wall to find out though 'cos you never know, (as we have recently discovered.  ).

| | | Re: Help with identification please Many thanks Dorts.
Had a good trip to the Wrexham site.
Like the Young Hunter we saw the same excluding the marsh fragrant.
Superb site and once again many thanks
