Deep red variety of Ghost plants Monotropa uniflora #shorts
Ghost plant is white and does not contain chlorophyll. Rare varieties are pink to deep red and as of yet, there is no explanation for this.
Monotropa uniflora – known as Ghost Plant, Ghost Flower, Ghost Pipe, Indian Pipe, or Corpse Flower, is a perennial wildflower with a wide geographic distribution throughout the United States, from Maine to California and from Florida to Alaska. It is absent from the southwest, intermountain west, and the central Rocky Mountains. It is not a commonly encountered wildflower.
Monotropa uniflora (Monotropa – once turned; uniflora – one flowered) ranges in height from 10 to 30 centimeters. The entire plant is translucent, “ghostly” white, sometimes pale pinkish-white, and commonly has black dots. The leaves are scale-like and flecked with black on the flower stalk (peduncle). As the Latin epithet uniflora implies, the stem bears a single flower. Upon emerging from the ground, the flower is pendant (downwardly pointed). As the anthers and stigma mature, the flower spreads to all most perpendicular to the stem. The fruit is a capsule. As the capsule matures, the flower becomes erect (in line with the stem). Once ripened, the seed is released through slits that open from the tip to the base of the capsule. The plant is persistent after seed dispersal.
America’s eminent poet, Emily Dickinson, called the Ghost Plant “the preferred flower of life.” In a letter to Mabel Todd, she confides, “I still cherish the clutch with which I bore it from the ground when a wondering child, and unearthly booty, and maturity only enhances the mystery, never decreases it.”
Ghost Plant is parasitic and more specifically mycoheterotrophic. Its hosts are certain fungi that are mycorrhizal with trees, meaning it ultimately gets its energy from photosynthetic trees. Since it is not dependent on sunlight to grow, it can grow in very dark environments as in the understory of dense forest. It is often associated with beech trees. It grows where sunlight can not get to.
It is also called Indian Pipe but that is a derogatory term and I chose not to use it more than this statement.

WILL
will-life-improve-if-we-stop-using-the
In order to improve our lives we need to remove should have from our language.
"Should have" breaks us down, it brings regret. It tells us we made a mistake.
It acknowledges the mistake but offers nothing.
There is no benefit to the phrase "should have:"
Instead of using SHould have, we need to use:
I've learned from,
I have experienced this and now see a better path.
Use it to improve your life rather than using should have and getting stuck in regret.
You have I've learned, I have a better way so if it ever returns you have better options.
Don't worry about the past, look to your path forward.

Quote from the 4th Doctor:
“You Know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common, They don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be the one the facts need altering.”

DUALI
duality-reality-do-we-always-need-only-2
Does the Duality Reality we live in cause us to always focus on only 2 voices?
Do we need our Dualistic Mindset to function in this world?
Is Coke better than Pepsi?
Is Burger King better than Mcdonald's?
Duncan Donuts vs Starbucks?
Is Walmart better than Target?
Android vs Iphone?
Vegetarian lifestyle vs meat-eating lifestyle? Vegan vs Carnivor?
I think we need to always be looking for the other choices in life not just the ones right in front of us.

Eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) #Shorts
Link: https://www.massaudubon.org/learn/nature-wildlife/reptiles-amphibians/snakes/snake-species-in-massachusetts
The eastern garter snake is one of our most-seen snakes. It has long stripes down its body but lacks the burgundy stripe and white eyespot of the rarer eastern ribbon snake. It eats amphibians, fish, small mammals, earthworms, and sometimes insects. People often mistakenly call this snake a “garden snake,” because it can sometimes be seen in gardens. However, the name “garter snake” comes from the old fashion of wearing garters—strips of fabric that held up stockings.

WHAT
what-is-worse-a-good-liar-or-a-bad-liar
What's the difference between a really good liar and a really bad liar?
A real good liar can tell their lies, but they're trusted and their lies are accepted.
A good liar can lie and not be challenged.
A real bad liar, everyone knows that they are lying. A bad liar is not challenged because others really do not want to deal with them.
Liars do not know if they are really good liars or real bad liars since no one challenges them.
A real good liar is truly insidious. A real good lie does the most damage since everyone accepts it.
