An opening flower bud on a woody plant, identified as Corylus sp. (hazelnut). The bud scales are covered in fine white hairs, and the flowers are a series of magenta "streamers" emerging from the top.

Ghost pipes (Monotropa uniflora). Multiple scaly, waxy stalks emerge from the forest floor, bend like a shepherd's crook, and display a single bell-shaped white flower. The plant does not photosynthesize -- it receives all its nutrients from trees, by parasitizing their mycorrhizae -- so all parts of it are white. Photo taken July 2024 by Lise Fracalossi in Lunenburg, MA.

Closeup on a single stalk of ghost pipes (Monotropa uniflora). The flower is almost tulip-shaped and white with pink-edged petals; the stalk looks waxy, and features scale-like white leaves. As this plant does not photosynthesize, all parts of it are white. Photographed by Lise Fracalossi, July 2020, Lunenburg, MA.
Day 7 of #nativeplantsofthenortheast #20DayPlantChallenge: Monotropa uniflora (ghost pipes)
"I thought this was a mushroom," I hear you say! But no, it's a non-photosynthesizing plant that parasitizes the mycorrhizae of trees. By a degree of separation, it steals its food from trees!
Lindera benzoin (Northern Spicebush). Clusters of yellow flowers and rounded flower buds arranged alternately along a dark brown twig. Photo taken by Lise Fracalossi, May 2021, Lane Conservation Area.
Branches of Lindera benzoin (Northern spicebush) in bloom. Numerous blooms are arranged alternately along dark brown twigs. The leaves have not yet appeared. Photo taken by Lise Fracalossi, April 2020, Lane Conservation Area.
Day 16 of #nativeplantsofthenortheast #20DayPlantChallenge: spicebush (Lindera benzoin)
This shrub with sunny yellow flowers is one of the earliest to bloom in spring, with the flowers appearing before the leaves. This makes it a great native forsythia replacement!
