What were the flower dimensions and could you give more info on the leaf (Channeled, ribbed etc.).

Plant was very tall (almost a metre tall), flowers quite large. I wouldn’t be able to recount accurate dimensions sorry. I have other photos of the leaf I will look at, but I can say that it wasn’t noticeably channeled.

Probably T.nuda or similar then if it had large flowers, see what the otheres have to say.

I am seeing, particularly in the first photo the 2 horn-like teeth typical of T. alpina and the general flower features and the leaf all support this.
