Back to the Broad- leaved Helleborines

After a rain soaked weekend, I went out locally and checked on the Broad- leaved Helleborines and was pleased to see more had been caged but there were still at least 10 however which were uncaged, I put more canes/ sticks around them and although most of the plants that were in flower, but only one showed fresh flowers. I found another plant that appeared to have been nibbled probably by Muntjac Deer (even though I had put sticks around it) and the flower head had separated and been sheared off so I left it so the seeds could disperse for future plants to hopefully germinate.
