In Focus Artists is opening a new exhibit September 29 at Mayslake Peabody Estate. One of the images in the exhibit is “Indian Pipes”, a macro image of a tiny perennial found in woodlands. It lacks chlorophyll, and is a mycoheterotroph, obtaining nutrients from tree roots through a fungi connection. Often called the Ghost Plant, this small white plant is seldom seen, often missed, and can be covered by the leaf debris on the woodland floor.This image and others can be seen at the “Rooted in Beauty” Exhibit, September 29 through December 6, Mondays through Satrudays, 12pm to 3pm.

I hope to see you at the Reception October 8, 6-8pm!
