Very nice and thanks for sharing, how many different stands of this cyp are there in the habitat you have visited?
 
THe place which I visited includes around 200 plants.
But in our valley are a lot more plants, very often only singles but there are also some other places with 100 or more.
Nearby in another valley in Austria near Kössen, where I will go next week there are also some 100 plants. I finished after I counted 300.

Best greetings

2 days ago I went in a valley 20 km from my home in Austria in an elevation of around 800 - 1200 m and found again hundreds (I think more than 1000) of Cypripedium in flower

Beside the Cypripedium I found also many Cephalanthera damasonia

Great pictures...

Is it Cephalanthera damasonium indeed?? I think that due to its thin-pointy leaves and their density, it is C. longifolia...! C. damasonium has fewer leaves and are more oval-like..! Just a thought :)
 
You are right it is Cephalanthera longifolia
Please excuse my mistake. In german I was correct but made the mistake with the latina name

nice spot ! i saw the same specie in the moutains close to where i live.
i think the cephalantera is more cephalantera longifolia ;)
