PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE - Indian Pipe is the un-wildflower wildflower.  With no chlorophyill to make it green - it is saprophytic - getting nourishment from decayed organic matter. And, it is not a flower to be picked - since it turns black when picked.

Also known as the Ghost Plant. It was a herbal remedy for pain.
