I was surprised today to see Indian Pipe already. I had thought this came out later in the summer.

That Indian Pipe is incredibly strange. Is it parasitic?

It reminds me of Broomrape, which doesn't produce chlorophyll and sucks all its nutrients from the roots of plants that do (usually broom, if I remember right...)

I had to look it up, but yes, it is. Makes sense, since it has no chlorophyll. Its flowers look pale pink sometimes. It's an albino plant! ;)
