   A ghost plant that doesn’t have chlorophyl of its own and instead gets its energy by effectively being a parasite off other plants, but not in a harmful way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora

   One of my favourite plants, they’re a real treat to find!

   And, incredibly, related to blueberries! Hope to see these in person one day.

   Locally we have 2 other variations of Ghost Pipe. Pine Sap which is identical but red. And Sweet Pine Sap which is very small, purple and brown, and smells incredible.
