Ghost pipes! A plant with no chlorophyll- these are parasitic and are leeching nutrients from below.

Ghost pipes! A parasitic plant with no chlorophyll- white in the leaf litter.

I had the WORST time trying to get G to work! All the flowers looked wrong, even this doesn’t look good yet.

But! Ghost pipe, or Indian pipe flower, is a cool plant w/ no chlorophyll. 😊

A marker and ink WiP drawing of a label or tag, with the letter G on it. Behind the letter is ink drawings of ghost pipe, a waxy white flower that grows in pine woods in the shade. It has no chlorophyll, so it is white (or sometimes pink, but that’s unusual), and is often mistaken for a fungus. The flowers fill most of the tag, with the hole for hanging at the top surrounded by leaf mulch. Underneath the tag, graphite lettering says “Ghost Pipe”, with “Virginia Wildflowers” in smaller lettering underneath. The lines for layout are still visible. Flower references: Wikimedia Commons and my own photos.

Commonly mistaken for fungi, the ghost pipe is a parasitic plant that produces no chlorophyll. It survives by parasitizing underground fungal networks for energy.
