User's notes
Small number of leek orchids growing in sub-alpine bog at this location (about 15 in total still flowering) with a lot of variation in flowers.
There were two of this form - fairly simialr to the first ones I found / posted at 3388984.
I've posted the main variations here as separate sightings (with the abundance number on each sighting reflecting the number of the particular variation). I've only gone with P. sphacelatum (on all of them) as there was no Prasophyllum sp. in the list to choose ;) All of the plants in flower had no leaves or withered leaves - so I thought P. sphacelatum rather than P. tadgellianum. Other option might be P. canaliculatum I guess - as location is similar. Interested to see what the experts think! Glen
(other variations at 3388984 and 3388986 and 3388988)
