Pat's lovely photos of orchids in Zagoria reminded me that I've never succeeded in finding the name of this plant which we saw there in late spring. I thought it might be a Haplophyllum, perhaps Haplophyllum balcanicum. Any ideas? Jorun was there at the same time, and may have a better picture.

Thanks, Oron; you're obviously right, now I compare it with pictures of the plant.

Sorry, Alisdair, but I did not see this one when we were in Zagoria, so no photos either, but yours are very nice.
