Death Approaches? Death Approaches! ♡

[id: Two pictures next to eachother in a twitter meme template. The caption on top reads “Why has no one ever shown me the 2nd part of this meme?”

The left image shows Snatcher sneaking up behind the florist, a wicked grin on his face, clearly up to something. She is smiling, looking towards the camera and not paying attention to behind him.

The second image has the two hugging. Snatcher has his arms wrapped around her waist, a large happy smile on his face, his evil deed completed. The florist is happily surprised at this, a large smile on her face, turning to see who has gotten her into a surprise hug. End id]

Have you ever seen these? This was a first for me. I ran across them while camping in northern Minnesota. I assumed this was a type of fungus, but a Google search revealed that it’s called “ghost plant” (Monotropa uniflora). Apparently this unusual woodland wildflower isn’t super common in most areas so it was cool seeing some in person. They have no chlorophyll so they never turn green. Since they don’t have chlorophyll they can’t produce their own food. Instead, they rely on the nutrients produced by specific species of mushrooms that grow under specific species of trees. If the right mushrooms don’t grow, these plants don’t grow either. This dependence on their host mushrooms makes ghost plants a parasite species. They are also called “Indian pipe” because of their shape. If you pick them the stalks turn black almost immediately which earned them another of their names; the “corpse plant”. They bloom with a single flower on the end of each stalk and bees will pollinate them but they don’t have a fragrance that humans can detect. Purportedly they have a variety of medicinal applications that range from stopping epileptic seizures to fighting gonorrhea and toothaches. These were an interesting discovery, at least for a nature geek like me. #GhostPlant #IndianPipePlant #CorpsePlant #MonotropaUniflora

What pollinates ghost pipe, aka indian pipe?  Bees of course.  It took me as a surprise,but this parasitic plant (feeds on the fungi associated with trees) is in the ericaceous family, same as blueberries and kin and indeed bees, both bumblebees and "small" bees are noted, come to these flowers.   Since they often bloom later in the year when most of the spring plants and bees are gone it would be interesting to learn more about its pollination strategy.  Picture and specimen by Helen Lowe Metzman.

My mini ghost plant is not that mini anymore and has many baby’s growing!

Indian pipes or ghost plants are true plants, not fungi. They don’t photosynthesize so they remain white. They do have flowers and pollen and attract pollinators. Check out this happy bee and its friends. #capecod #nature #plant #wildflower #indianpipe #ghostplant #pollinator #bee #nature #getoutside https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEOGLDn3uu/?igshid=15qpdbrjwmz16

I got a succulent! (Specifically a ghost plant) and his name is spirit! He's my first plant and I love him to bits!

Thursday pup-date from the leaves from @uplicot_craft that have sprouted so far! Top left of each pic is fresh out of the box (22 Mar I think), top right is around 26 Mar, and bottom is this morning. I love watching them grow!!! One of the echeveria monica though has massive roots but no pup... Does anyone have any tips to push it to pup? Or do I just need to give it time and accept that it may be a roots-only dud? 🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🤞🤞🤞 #succulentsofinstagram #succulents #propagation #propagationstation #propagate #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #plants #echeveria #graptopetalum #graptopetalumparaguayense #ghostplant #echeveriamonica #indoorgarden #indoorgardening (at Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1KyhEBDw_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ed2wg1isiezs

THE DIP >:Dc

[id: The first image has Snatcher and the florist together, with Snatcher being dipped by her, like on the cover of a romance novel. There are two speech bubbles, one purple and one green. The purple one leads to Snatcher and says “SWOON~ My strong, AMAZING girlfriend!” surrounded by hearts. The green one leads to the florist and says “...you dork. Love you too, Purple Devil.” surrounded by hearts.

Snatcher is in a much more humanoid form, wearing a vest & undershirt, bow tie, fingerless gloves, pants, and heeled boots. He has long, dark purple hair, flowing out behind him as his head is tilted back. His right hand is resting over dramatically on the side of his face, with his other arm lip at his side. The florist is holding him with both arms by the waist & back to keep him steady. He is floating a little bit off the ground, left leg slightly up to increase the dramaticness of the posing. His heeled boots are pointing downwards. The florist is rolling her eyes, a lazy smile on her face.

The second image is the exact same as the first, just without the speech bubbles. End id.]
