Indian Pipe. (Monotropa uniflora) Mixed media: Acrylic, watercolor & pen on archival watercolor paper. 20 x 16 inches framed. When hiking deep in the forest, I am always surprised and grateful to see it. Wikipedia describes it "...is a hervaceous, parasitic, non-photosynthesizing, perennial flowing plant native to temperate regions of Asia, North America, and northern South America....It is commonly found growing in clumps of 2 or more, with its fungal source nearby."
