Found this Broad-leaved Helleborine, Orchid species native to UK. It’s at flower bud stage, sown itself within the Garden of Time at Stirling Uni Campus. (Species is elsewhere on the campus too.) The greeny white flower buds on the spike should open to be a reddy-brown colour in a wee while. (If in shade might be greenish colour.) Plant can grow to ~90cm. This one about 75cm at the moment. Will try to get a photo of it flowering fully.
