Indian Pipe
This fascinating plant (Monotropa uniflora) is definitely one of nature’s weird wonders. Because it has no chlorophyll and doesn’t depend on photosynthesis, this ghostly white plant is able to grow in the darkest of forests. Many people refer to this strange plant as Indian pipe fungus, but it is not a fungus at all – it just looks like one. It is actually a flowering plant, and believe it or not, it is a member of the blueberry family.

Wow that is stunning!
Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
For some reason it reminds me of something that should be growing underwater, like a jellyfish sort of thing.
Yes!
