Western Coralroot (Corallorhiza mertensiana)

Western Coralroot (Corallorhiza mertensiana)
This was photographed on Whidbey Island near Deception Pass in the San Juan Islands. The Coralroots are saprophytes, leafless and without chlorophyll, relying on a symbiotic relation with a fungus for their sustenance. Because of this relationship they are impossible to cultivate.
