Totes Gebirge
« on: July 06, 2008, 08:52:17 PM »
Some pics from the Totes Gebirge from yesterday
Does anybody know the exact names of the Nigritellas and other orchids?
Exept the Nigritellas and Camorchis alpina with hybrids (?) I show you only very ordinary plants of these wonderful mountains. But the colours of all plants are very interesting here (very dark). The people in my village say: Here god has made the paradise. And this is true - I mean.

Chamorchis alpina
Nigritella nigra ssp. austriaca (2x) ?
Nigritella archiducis-joanis

Hans

All of the above.  Today is a wet and depressing day - could be like this for the week - so it is great to be among the mountains.

Hans great views and plants.
I like the nigritellas but is far from an expert. I also hand the first two different ones the way You had them nigra *2 and archiducis-joannis (known as Toten Vanilla Orchid in English) even though my old book does not have any ssp austriaca for nigra.
The third species I had trouble with and the closest I came to was N. lithopolitanica (Steineralp Vanilla Orchid) but it was a bit more pink and its distribution was  was Steineralp Ostkarawanken and Koralp with "probably more widely distributed" written after. It tis supposed to flower before N. nigra.
I found in the appendix of my book N. widderi and it exist in Totengebirge so it seems to be a better candidate.

Thanks for sharing this unusual orchids with us

Kind regards
Joakim

The Allium looks like it's Allium victorialis (Victory Onion). The leaves would have been broad, a bit like Ramsons (Allium ursinum).
