Grade School science comes back to me when I came across this plant with no chlorophyll - the Ghost Plant, Indian Pipe or Corpse Plant. It is only 6 inches and usually blends in with its surroundings. It is growing near the stump of a dead tree that is par for its course of obtaining nutrients from others because it has no green stuff of its own. Fascinating plant in the Northwoods.
