Monotropia uniflora... "Ghostpipe"
This one has a neat pink color to it, which is rare to see but it is known to occur. I'm actually curious as there are apparently a few species with a singular flower, four recognized species in Monotropia, and I've found some odd ones recently and am trying to reach a Monotropia expert for more help : )
Remember, as neat as these and other similar species look, they rely on a relationship with the trees around them through the underground fungi network to obtain nutrients. Thus, while they look super cool, do not be tempted to try to transplant them, as they will not survive being moved. They only can live when they remain connected to the network that provides them with the energy needed for life! Similarly, even if you tried to collect seeds, they would be unlikely to grow because they need very specific trees & fungi. They are pollinated by native bumble bees!

Schuykill Generating Station with a graffiti-covered crane used to offload coal from barges. A portion of the Schuykill Riverwalk is in the foreground. https://www.schuylkillbanks.org/blog/generating-energy-lower-schuylkill
Southwark generating station, on the Delaware, with Ben Franklin Bridge behind. Both designed by Paul Phillipe Cret. https://www.philadelphiabuildings.org/pab/app/ho_display.cfm/844490

My #SilentSunday was a hike through the Vejle River Valley near Tørskind, returning over Runkenbjerg.
It is such a wonderful landscape, and the weather today was ideal for photography.
On the way I met a homeowner who told me the old houses out here were reasonably priced. "Who wouldn't want to live next to these views?", I thought. But then I recalled that it is half an hour drive from the Danish highway system, which is probably why it is not for everyone.
But one can dream… ♥️
