Ghost Plant
The Ghost Plant (scientific name: *Monotropa uniflora*) is a unique, flowering plant that lacks chlorophyll, giving it a ghostly white appearance. It typically grows in shady, forested areas and can be found in North America and parts of Asia. Instead of photosynthesis, it obtains nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with fungi in the soil, which connect to tree roots.
This plant features delicate, tubular flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The Ghost Plant is also known as Indian Pipe and is often associated with the mycorrhizal fungi that help it thrive in nutrient-poor environments. Its unusual appearance and growth habits make it a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
