Some pretty Ghost Pipes (monotropa uniflora) from last summer πŸ‘»πŸŒ²β˜€οΈ They are a parasitic flower because have no chlorophyll of their own, and they are one of my favorite native flowers in my area.

Some of my #StrawberrySpinach #berries ;entire plant is #edible πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ Leaves & stems taste like regular spinach. Berries are pretty bland but look fabulous in salads.
I grew from original seeds obtained from Metchosin Farm - local small farm.

All four of our Devil's Tongue babies are growing. I am very excited. 😊

I love these odd plants.
They're all foliage in the summer but, in the early spring, they produce a single giant dark red flower that smells like death. (It's related to the corpse flower.)

With our luck, they'll all flower next January and stink up the house. πŸ˜„
