Beautiful and a little other worlds and common in our woods. We called them Indian Pipe, but they are more correctly termed Ghost Pipes...
It’s a ghost! The ghost pipe (also called ghost flower or corpse plant) can be found in most of Ontario. Unlike most plants, it does not produce chlorophyll (which makes plants green and allows them to capture energy from sunlight). This parasitic plant uses a large network of roots and fungi to steal energy from nearby plants. #MNRFscience
