    Ghost plant, Indian pipe (Monotropa). Saprophytic flowering plant, has no foliage. Deep woods have various kinds of saprophytes, including genera in the orchid family.

    Cool, thanks... I had never seen one of these before and I thought it was kinda odd looking. Thanks for identifying it for me.
