Broadleaf Helleborine

You easily miss it. Even if it is a rather big plant, until 80 cm high. Broadleaf Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine) blends well into its environment, it grows in the shade of trees and has rather inconspicuous colours.

But it is a beauty, when you look from nearby!

Every plant is different, even if the flowers are always some shade of green, red and purple with a touch of yellow.


It flowers from the second half of June to well into July. This year it will not go on flowering for long, it is too hot and too dry.
