Indian Pipe, A Plant With No Chlorophyll, Is Blooming On Cape Cod.
Indian Pipe wildflowers have no chlorophyll so they get their nutrients from decaying matter. They have whitish, waxy scaly stalks with nodding, waxy 1″ bell-shaped flowers. They grow solo or in clumps and only from 4″-10″ tall. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
They bloom from July to September in the woods, so if you’re out on a hike in the woods, maybe you will see one. Just look for the white stalks sticking out of the ground!
Pretty Cabbage White Butterfly On Cape Cod.
Beautiful Spotted Wintergreen Wildflowers Are Blooming On Cape Cod.
The Spotted Wintergreen wildflowers are one of the most interesting of the wildflowers that bloom around here. They have 1″ waxy, white petals that face downward. As they bloom, they start looking up toward the sky and eventually are totally facing the sun. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
They grow in the woods in July and August, so you have plenty of time to see them. So pretty and delicate…
Have you seen any Spotted Wintergreen this summer?
