This was first found beneath the woodland within Dalton Crags (finder: Jo Miller April 2021). A strange sort of plant with no colour as such. It is very rare and the details have been given to County Recorder. The plant lacks chlorophyll so you do not see any colour it is more transparent to a light yellow. The flower spikes are seen nodding, but will become erect when later in fruit.
Note the difference in profiles. This is long after fruiting and now rotting down on 22nd November 2021. It looks strange with its "orange segments" and its little "blow hole".
The early day posture remind me so much of the epipactis orchids eg: the nodding its head in shame! it would never do that, yet! after a while it lifts its head in full glory for all to see it's magnificence.
I missed the Yellow Birds Nest lifting of it's head and it must have been such a special sight by looking here at what we are seeing now...
