In pine and oak woods the fleshy tan flowers of Pinesaps lift above the ground litter. Pinesaps are saprophytic, feeding on decaying organic matter.
The pale spheres of Globe-thistle, and introduced species, seem to hover above thickets.
And one of the Willow Herbs (perhaps Purple-leaved) tints wet ditches and swampy places with its tiny pink flowers.
