Muthmannsdorf 12.7.2018
Short walk into the forest between Dreistetten and Muthmannsdorf and to the sunflower fields. As it has rained a lot recently, I hope to find mushrooms, but wasn´t successful.
However, I saw butterflies in abundance. This Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is rather battered.

A clearing. Neophytic plants like bobby´s tops can look nice.
This Queen of Spain fritillary (Argynnis lathonia) disgusts the neophyts and prefers the thistles.
Bobby´s tops (Impatiens glandulifera).

Inside the forest there are different epipactis orchids, I cannot identify them with certainty.
Thsi could be Müller´s Stendelwurz (Epipactis muelleri)
Broad leaved helleborine (Epipactis helleborine)
Suppose this is another Queen of Spain fritillary (Argynnis lathonia)
I have to stop at the drive back to see the sunflower fields near Muthmannsdorf.
Hohe Wand in the background, only a very small part of Schneeberg can be seen to its left.
