Involved in a three way relationship.  This plant does not photosynthesize but rather gets its energy from a fungus which in turn gets its energy  from another plant.   A sort of ménage a trois.  For more detail check out the botit.botany.wisc.edu link above.




About 5 groups and twenty folks had gathered to take in the sunset and rise of a Super-moon.
