@wildflowerhour.bsky.social I totally missed the #HelleborineChallenge on Sunday. My belated offer is some very tiny green-flowered helleborine, clearly suffering from drought. Central Bedfordshire

An attempt to show the differences of leaf edges of Broad leaved Helleborines and Green-flowered Helleborines. Green flowered are slightly thinner so the focus isn’t great.

2 spikes of Broad-Leaved Helleborine in a rather dark woodland in North Cornwall today. This species is uncommon in Cornwall, so it was nice to see them. Last recorded nearby in 1998! #HelleborineChallenge #WildflowerHour

Aha! The flowers haven’t opened in time for the #WildflowerHour #HelleborineChallenge, but this Epipactis has turned up again, presumably seeded into the garden from adjacent woodland.

I've enjoyed two species of helleborine this week, both new for me and couldn't have been more different!

Green-flowered Helleborine, subtle, delicate, hidden in plain sight in wooded shade.

And thousands of showy Marsh Helleborine, Braunton Burrows, Devon.
