one the more beautiful orchids found in Sweden, if you ask me. :meow:

That is intense and beautiful...
another Epipactis (E. helleborine) was introduced here in Victorian times and has hence spread... still pretty.... does this one occasionally also have albino forms... like the forma monotropoides here?

This albino form you mentioned, is it achlorophyllous?
But no, i haven't heard of it. Epipactis helleborine is native to Sweden, but I haven't heard of "albino" forms of it here!

I would really like to see Epipactis gigantea! Have you seen it?

Yes... achlorophyllous, and being fully mycoheterotrophic... i've seen a few like that
there are two Epipactis here both naturalized from Europe
one is more or less just in one location in Vermont E. atrorubens... E. helleborine has several color forms here, but i've never seen E. gigantea in my travels

Cool, I've never heard about achlorophyllous traits in Epipactis before! :D

E. atrorubens is native here as well, I've seen them both.

Is Epipactis palustris common in Sweden? Here in Germany, it is rather rare, but Epipactis helleborine can be found quite often, even in parks and cemeteries of larger towns.

Nah, I wouldn't say common. Rich bogs, or what it's called in English, are rather rare. And it's only found in southern Sweden. E. helleborine is more common.

well, it's cousin Epipactis Gigantea is probably the most beautiful in California, the flowers are a bit bigger and the lip is thinner, they're usually a peachy yellow with red and orange stripes.
