    Hey matey, long time no speak Looks like I misremembered, Bolton not Wigan. Still look more like E. dunensis from the pic, but as we know images can be deceiving. Looks like I may be heading west this weekend. Exciting :-O Hope you are well

    Plant ID St Petersburg, Russia.

    I agree, it is certainly a member of the M. nemorosum group. Which one is another matter If Carlsburg made Cow-wheats.....

    Have you a link to the pics please? Not questioning the ID, I just have a rather unhealthy obsession with Epipactis in general and dunensis particularly There are undoubtedly many.

    plants for ID from the French Alps

    Again final pic surely E. dunensis * Mark * As I've said before I would not be at all surprised if many (most/all?) of the inland E. dunensis with pink bases to the pedicels ( cf the coastal var) are introgressed with E. helleborine as in the Scottish bing sites. Unfortunately only var...
