Poland, town's outskirts, 3 weeks ago.

Poland, town's outskirts, 3 weeks ago.
Hmmm. It has what appears to be angular leaves, a single stalk, and down dropped white divided petals.
But the petals look a bit different than the Herminium monorchis, although it does look similar... hmmm??
It looks like some Herminium plant. Just a shot in the dark, Herminium monorchis, musk orchid.

My guess was Platanthera bifolia but that's also not it as the flower's shape is different.
No, it's not Platanthera bifolia. Do you have a photo with its leaves?
Apart from Herminium monorchis, the flower looks like wild cucumber's. But I don't think this is the case.
I guess that's not it as the single flower stems are delicate and thin and in Herminium monorchis they're much thicker and solid. But the whole plant look very similar.
It is a wild orchid, that's for sure. But which one?
Just one more try: Echinocystis lobata, wild cucumber.
I checked the photos again and noticed this tendril
@artofwisdom, do you know if the tendrils were linked to this plant?
i have to check that one live as there was many plants around and between and not sure if any leaves in the photos belong to that flower. i will be going there in the next few days.
Yes, this is the best way to proceed. 🙂
is it perhaps a fools onion?
Brodiaea hyacinthina if it is non the musk orchid??
Nope.
Had to try! That one is tough!!!
if that would be a musk orchid, it is a critically endangered species in Poland and strict protection zone have to be established... maybe it's a new species :)
i may go there next week to take some more pictures like leaves.
That would be interesting! It is pretty cool that going out with a camera and observing nature can help us understand just really what is out there! I hope to visit the forests of Poland one day!
Looking forward to more photos!!
