| Low white flower stalks, several in a clump, have suddenly sprung up under a tree near a rock pile. Not seen until this year and I did not plant them. Someone suggest they are a bulb. What are they? |
| It sounds to me like Indian Pipe (Montropa uniflora). These unusual plants have no clorophyll, and instead depend on a relationship with green plants, which is mediated by symbiotic fungi that live in the soil, for their carbohydrate needs. They are fascinating plants -- I recommend reading more about them. |
