    Hi there...

    Well I was on a camping trip in the "Parc de la mauricie" up here in Québec, Canada... While taking a walk trough the woods I came upon those "flowers"... At first I believed they were mushrooms because of their texture (It's almost like they are made of wax) but then I noticed strange characteristics that belongs more to plants and flowers...

    Anybody ever seen one of those?
    Thanks in advance!

    Indian pipes! Took me back to my youthful wanderings in New Hampshire forests.

    I saw some more in the "Parc des hautes-gorges de la rivière Malbaie" last weekend!!!! It's a bit strange to me since I've been camping in those places for years and now I see them twice in just a couple of weeks!
