Hi all, here is a few shots of the Violet Helleborines (Epipactis purpurata) I saw at the weekend. I also noted an interesting species in the wood which had variegated leaves!

On Thursday during the rain showers I checking out the Violet Helleborines at Great Merrible Wood LRWT . In between the light and very heavy rain I found at least 74 flowering spikes, with one impressive plant near the path had 18 spikes!! The Helleborines were coming into flower so there should be at there best for a week or so?
