Everytime we go to the woods we find something new!

For those wishing to find these fine fellows in Sullivan Woods, the Sundew is in the bog, the Purple Passionflower is growing up the "tepee" at the end of Dogwood trail, the Yellow Passionflower is growing up the large tree at the end of the driveway leading to the generator enclosure, and the Pinesap is growing in the area of the exercise equipment on the east side and is marked by white flags.

Pinesap (Monotropa hypopithys)

This is a very unusual looking plant ( rare or endangered if Wikopedia is to be believed) it is not a fungus, but rather an herbaceous plant without chlorophyll, thought to live off fungus.
