Plants for ID please

Hi Chaps,

Was out with Clive round the Anglesey fens and Newborough today. Could someone please confirm or correct our plant IDs.

Marsh Woundwort

Marsh Arrowgrass

Grass of Parnassus

Fly Orchid capsule

Finally, we are struggling on this one. Saw lots of Round-leaved Wintergreen, could this be another Winergreen sp? A tiny plant, perhaps 6cm tall, growing in wet alkaline fen.

Thanks in advance

Jeff

Jeff, all correct.
The last one you photographed for me when we were at Newborough, it was growing among the Wintergreen.
I'ts Brookweed - Samolus parviflorus.

Thanks Dorts,

Clive did suggest Brookweed but it was so much smaller than the plants you showed me and we thought it might be different. We photographed the plant before we saw the Newborough plants but I should have listened to Clive! Still an awkward little blighter to photograph, particularly in today's drizzle.

By the way, the Dune Helleborines have just about gone over, still there's always next year!
