Ghost Plant, Indian Pipe

 

ghosts of the forest


an intimate glimpse or two:


rare to see their insides as they are often facing down:


lovely petals of soft light:


translucent beings that rise from the forest floor:



in relationship with the wonderful trees

more than with the sun

  2. What amazing and unusual plants. In the first photo. they really do look like pipes! My favourite images are the first one, the third (with those colourful and intricate centres)and the fifth one showing off the beautiful translucency.

    1. They are unusual, even their relationship with the world is different from most plants.
      Thank you for sharing the photos you like, it is fun to look at them anew.

  6. Bonjour ma chère amie,

    Ce sont des bijoux que ces fleurs ! La nature nous offre de si belles choses... Faut-il qu'on sache prendre le temps de les observer !...
    Merci pour ces délicates et magnifiques photos !

    En ce moment nous vivons un terrible incendie qui détruit une flore et une faune merveilleuses... Je suis très en colère !
    De nombreuses tortues Hermann meurent... Elles me tiennent tant à coeur.

    Je te souhaite une très belle journée.

    Gros bisous et merci pour ton adorable commentaire.

    1. Je suis désolé d'entendre parler de votre incendie! Et les tortues. Les incendies sont si destructeurs. J'espère qu'il est sorti maintenant.

      Nous avons eu de la fumée pendant un mois, puis de la pluie. Le feu principal semble éteint maintenant.

  8. What an amazing plant. I have never seen anything like them. The closest we have here in Scotland is Toothwort, Lathraea squamaria, which is a parasitic plant.

  11. How ethereal! I’ve never seen like these. Excuse me of my late visit, Tammie. I was almost away from my computer having a blog break in summer.
