Western Coralroot

Western Coralroot
It's a bit confusing but we have both the Western Spotted Coralroot and the Western Coralroot here. This is the Western Coralroot or Merten's Coralroot, Corallorhiza mertensiana, another mycoheterotrophic plant, without chlorophyll and without leaves. It was photographed at Goat Mountain in the North Cascades while hiking there with friends from Germany whom I took on an extended orchid hunting tour.

Lovely against the black background. Is the flower color from the plant or is it produced by a fungus?
