Ghost Pipe - Emily Dickinson referred to this odd looking wildflower as â&#128;&#156;the preferred flower of life.â&#128;&#157; Perhaps the most curious aspect of Ghost Pipe is its color.  It doesnâ&#128;&#153;t have chlorophyll like most plants, which means that it cannot produce its own food through photosynthesis.  Instead, it receives its nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi, a complex system of underground fungus that feeds the Ghost Pipe with nutrients from tree roots.
