Saturday July 12, Bear & Supermoon & Ghost Plant

Bear behind Byrd's Nest Shelter 

Monotropa uniflora

Indian Pipe AKA Corpse Plant or Ghost Plant


NOT to  be confused with Corpse Flower


Amorphophallus titanium

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.
