Indian Ghost Pipe - black spotted Scarce wouldn't be the description in this area... I've never seen these before today, but in this particular forest they were all over the place. I've also heard that in some years they never really flower - you'll see the mound, but they don't sprout. This must be a good year for them - lots of flowers.
