After the visit of a Nigritella habitat in Italy http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21539 I went to Austria to the Schafberg looking for a very rare species Nigritella stiriaca.
But also the area around the Schafberg was wonderful how you can see:

In the first hour I did not find any plant but then I found one, then a second and then more than 50 plants in flower.

It is impossible to transplant this wonderful species to the gardens. It needs a high elevation 1400 - 1800 m and special culture.
But it is wonderfukl enough to find this orchid beside many other alpine species in the mountains.
