An amazing weird plant seen today in Gatineau
Park, Quebec! Indian Pipe, also known as “Corpse Plant,” is one of the easiest
plants to recognize. Unlike most plants, Indian Pipe doesn’t have
chlorophyll, the stuff that makes plants green. Indian Pipe subsists on
a fungus that gains nutrients from a tree. It is a parasite of both
the fungus and the tree. Now that is weird!
