Had to put this in my COLORS gallery, or lack of to be precise....
this flower is closer to a tree fungus that borrows nutrients from
decaying neighboring plants as it has NO COLOR or no chlorophyll which gives
plants their colors! They're nicknamed "Ghosts of the Forest!"
Check out this close up and you can see the leaves are almost transparent!
