27/7/25 Cumbria - #HuttonRoof treats us to a very interesting #orchid some years. It's clearly from the Epipactis phyllanthes group but quite unlike anything else I've seen in the UK, most closely matching the description of a Scandinavian taxon, var. confusa #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

6/7/25 Cumbria - Today's tour of #HuttonRoof for @mariposanature.bsky.social saw a great variety of Dark Red #Helleborines (Epipactis atrorubens), my favourite having pale flowers with bright yellow lateral petals #HelleborineChallenge #Wildflowerhour #Orchid #Orchids @bsbibotany.bsky.social
