Can you guess what this one is? I’ll give you a hint: this is a very unusual plant. It has no chlorophyll, so it never turns green. Post your guesses in the comments, and happy sleuthing to you!

Native Plants of Franklin
Hello Franklin! My name is Michelle Clay, and you could call me a bit of a garden geek. Here in Franklin, we have a lot of lovely suburban gardens, but most of the plants in a typical suburban yard come from other parts of the world. We have many fascinating and beautiful plants that are native to the Franklin area that most people don’t know about. Each week I will feature one native plant here, and the following week, I will identify what it is, and tell you a bit about where it can be seen.

Hi - this should be Pinesap. If we were further south, there is a smaller version called Sweet Pinesap.
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have seen locally!
Indian pipe a fungus grows in Rehoboth too. Congrats on your writing gig will follow. Loretta
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Loretta and Susan! I will reveal the name of the plant this weekend so that I don't ruin the surprise for others. . .
