An orchid rarity

We are down in Oxford for a meeting of the Hardy Orchid Society.
With no plants in flower at this time of year and with a five hour drive back north at the end of the afternoon blip subjects are in short supply.
So here is a shot of one of the displays.
It shows a rare wild orchid which grew in Hampshire this year.
It is Cephelanthera damasonium var. chlorotica. The display was by Rosemary Webb and Nigel Johnson and it shows the development of the plant over a couple of months.
Also at the same site was a rarely recorded mushroom, Amanite echinocephala.
