I have seen indian ghost pipe in past years but never as many as this year. I always thought it was a fungus before. Very cool. Now I'm watching to see if they get seed pods next.

Lovely photos of the trails through the woods. It's interesting what you can see on the forest floor.

Thanks. It is - better the slower you go. :-)

The ghost pipes are such weird plants. I think they look like eyeballs on a stalk. Your pictures of the trails have the same impact on me. I am full of imagination about what could happen when I look at them.

They do look like eyeballs inside there, now that you mention it!

The pictures and the trail look so beautiful! The Ghost Pipes are something I saw in the mountains over in my region, they looked SLIGHTLY different.... they had black fringes to the 'petals' and a pink wet nodule that looked like pair of licked lips in the center... I just assumed they were a fungus! They look ALIEN that's for sure!

I always thought I was seeing a fungus when I would see them before. Very cool that they are a plant without chlorophyll - but they need a fungus to live. :-)

Very different. Nature has everything we can imagine. ;-)
