7-9 Field Sow Thistle, Checkered Rattlesnake Plantain, Indian Pipe

 7-9

Field Sow Thistle, an alien, is flowering in fields and along roadsides.


Checkered Rattlesnake Plantain is a native woodland species.



Indian Pipe, another native woodland dweller, once thought to be saprophytic is now known to be myco-heterotrophic, taking nutrients from subterranean fungal threads known as mycorrhiza.
