\nIndian-pipe is a plant one can find in shaded coniferous forests along the south coast of BC. It likes humus-rich soil.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve seen Indian-pipe a few times, appearing in a group of 5-12 stems, each rising about 10 cm from the forest floor, then curving down to end in a flower. It was entirely white, or a little greyish, both stem and flower. It was in full shade, near the base of a large conifer, just off the path.<\/p>\n
\nIndian-pipe, via channels of fungi, receives nutrients from roots of coniferous plants.<\/p>\n
