I took this picture in 2008 and thought I had ruined it (overexposure). Having discovered more recently the power of Nikon Capture version 2 to correct overexposure with my D700 I decided to try it on this D70 shot. The result is, I think, useable (just).
I was confident at the time that I had found this rare plant but it was a precarious position and I could not examine it closely so it has to remain an uncertain identification.
