This unusual woodland plant stands out with its ghostly white, waxy stems and drooping, bell-shaped flowers. Unlike most plants, it has no green leaves and does not produce its own food. Instead, it lives in partnership with underground fungi connected to tree roots. Found in shady, damp forests, Indian Pipe often grows in small clusters, giving the forest floor an otherworldly look.

Scientific name: Monotropa uniflora

Bloom season: Variable, from late spring into fall.
