Broad leaved Helleborine

There are 3 Broad leaved Helleborines on the track between the Ensay Burn and the Treshnish Schoolhouse.   

We have 15 species of Orchid on the farm, and this summer I have been trying to see them all.  Unfortunately I didn't find the Early marsh orchid on the path to Crackaig despite looking several times (!) and I have still to look for the Bog orchid, so this is my lucky 13th!

Early purple; Heath spotted; Northern marsh; Fragrant; Greater butterfly; Small white; Common twayblade; Lesser twayblade; Frog; Narrow leaved Helleborine; Common spotted; Bird's nest and now Broad leaved Helleborine.
