brick Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I came across this strange plant last weekend. Anyone know what kind of plant this is? Quote
G-spotter Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Candystripe, Indian pipe or something like that Quote
Mos_Chillin Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 It's not your goddamn birthday, so quit with the dis-info, wouldja? Quote
archenemy Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I know what plant that is and i'm not tellin Quote
Dechristo Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 It's a "CIA Deep Cover" Plant also known as a Plame Plant... ...and you're in deep doo-doo for posting a photo of her on the innerweb. Quote
Jim Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 No - not pine drops. It's one of the coralroots, likely western coralroot - Corallorhiza maculata ssp mertensiana. It's a fairly common orchid. It's a saprophyte, that gets it's nutrition from decaying vegetation rather than from photosynthesis. It has no chlorophyll. Pinedrops (Pterospora andromedea) is readily identifiable by the persistent drooping seed pods. Quote
Winter Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 come on Jim cut it out with the spray and be serious. its clearly the plame plant. Quote
Jim Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I think this clearly shows the need for a plant taxonomy forum Quote
spicoli11 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Saprophyte it may be.....but on this web site its devils club Quote
lI1|1! Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Saprophyte that's the word i've been searching the recesses of my drug addled brain for. i was gonna say it was a saprophyte cause it's growin' out of a dead piece of wood. what he said. uh, oh well. Quote
