[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On our trip yesterday to Mt. Meron we found numerous specimens of Epipactis helleborine. I posted one sample yesterday: www.treknature.com/gallery/photo206455.htm. This one has larger flowers, more than 20 mm across, and darker labella (lips).

The picture shows well the nectar inside the labellum and the pollinia (white pollen bodies suspended over the labellum).

Hello Ishi,
How amazing that you should find the Broad-leaved Helleborine on a mountain in Israel! It is found here in Åhus too, on the sand dunes in the pine forest along the coast! However, it's quite hard to get a really good capture in the forest. Here you show the beautiful details of this Orchid very clearly and this is a lovely colourful specimen! A wonderful capture!
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Ishi,
You have a kind of very interesting offers. At first glance resembles a bat is flying. Sharpness and colors are great.

Hello, congratulations for this picture! Sharpness and colors are great.

Bonjour Ishi,
Cette publication valorise beaucoup mieux le sujet que la précédente ; la profondeur de champ y est parfaite et permet d'apprécier la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
