Coral root orchid. Coral roots (Corallorhiza) are orchids that, with one exception, make no chlorophyll and live by taking (stealing) nutrients from fungi in the soil (myco-heterotrophy). Most of the plant is below ground, (the coral root) growing in intimate contact with its fungal provider. All that appears above ground is a single leafless shoot with an array of small, rather delicate flowers. Found on the forest floor, park St. Bruno, Quebec.

A small yellow plant of the forest floor. This is called perfoliate because the stem carrying the flower appears to grow through the leave (or rather the leave grows around the stem). St Bruno near Montreal.( Uvularia perfoliata )
