Corallorhiza mertensiana fma. pallida


Here's another color form of the plant I last posted, a pale pink stem instead of yellow and brownish flowers with heavier purple markings on the lip. It is fun finding these every year and seeing what new color forms we can find. They are leafless and without chlorophyll and so the one color that cannot be found is green. As noted before, these are only stems with flowers, so there are no leaves either. The are 12-18 inches tall and grow on forest floors where there is often little or no light, which also makes photography difficult.
