It is always harder to find photos of fruits than flowers. I just went to see a friend in the patch of natural land that he takes care of in our metropolitan Seattle area, who had asked me about a plant that I suspected would be Epipactis helleborine, but I didn't get out to see it until the flowers were finished, and the young fruits were the more distinctive remaining feature. I first checked the photos in the local Washington State wild plant website that I usually start with - http://biology.burke.washington.edu/herbarium/imagecollection.php?ID=2743 - but found no good photos of the fruits. So, after doing a websearch for that species and "fruits", or "pods" I found your photos. While your photos show fruits that are more mature than the fruits I saw were, it was a pretty good confirmation that what he showed me was indeed Epipactis helleborine, which he will happily pull out with the rest of the weeds he pulls in his park after I confirm that it was the weed I thought it was. If you wanted to submit your photos to their website - http://biology.burke.washington.edu/herbarium/imagecollection.php?Page=photos.php (without your Heidi Ho over them), I expect they would welcome them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784630752552908148noreply@blogger.com
