And they may actually be the same species (or pinesap could be split into four or five... the botanists keep changing their minds). The easiest way to tell them apart is when they are flowering. Indian Pipe always has a single flower on each stalk; Pinesap has a minimum of two flowers and frequently more.The Happy Wombat Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372571086102516025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-25289230551578946692010-07-26T20:31:26.773-04:002010-07-26T20:31:26.773-04:00Shelley, I bet my chickens would love a nice juicy...Shelley, I bet my chickens would love a nice juicy caterpillar like that. I wonder if they taste bad (not that i plan to try them!)<br /><br />Marylee, I wonder if it is the heat? Or if some years the butterflies do better than in others? Glad you have hummingbirds -- I love them!<br /><br />I haven't heard of those mosquito fans! I will have to google them. Do you have a brand name? I'm sure it would help with deer flies.<br /><br />Yes, send your next spider on a trip to Canada. :)Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-59538510956685530292010-07-26T20:29:46.391-04:002010-07-26T20:29:46.391-04:00Ronna, I thought they were InNdian pipes too at fi...Ronna, I thought they were InNdian pipes too at first -- they are very, very similar. I looked in my wildflower book. Apparently Indian pipes are whiter, pinesap more yellow, and they grow in different types of forest (I think Indian pipes grow in moisture hardwood forest?)Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-46228935594505274592010-07-26T20:28:35.752-04:002010-07-26T20:28:35.752-04:00John, that's actually the river!John, that's actually the river!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-10961879187705354632010-07-26T19:35:28.177-04:002010-07-26T19:35:28.177-04:00Lovely shots!Just curious...what you call Pinesap ...Lovely shots!Just curious...what you call Pinesap look like Indian Pipes to me.

The hummingbirds are regulars.<br /><br />This afternoon I looked outside and there was a large, gorgeous owl sitting in my backyard grass. Weird. Don't know if he was looking for water or chipmunks. <br /><br />Oh--I bought one of those Off mosquito fans for my husband to wear and he says that of all the crazy things I've bought, this one actually works. Not sure whether it helps with deer flies though. Those things are so irritating.
