EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Gibbons showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Striped Coral-root (Corallorhiza striata) in full bloom amidst a dense woodland in Canada. The delicate pink petals of this wild flower stand out against the lush green backdrop, creating a stunning contrast that captures the essence of nature's wonders. The intricate details of this botanical marvel are brought to life through the close-up shot, revealing its maroon stripes and exquisite blossom resembling an orchid. As a saprophytic flowering plant, it thrives on decaying organic matter with the help of mycorrhizal fungi, showcasing its unique biological adaptation. In this snapshot, we witness not only the sheer elegance and resilience of Corallorhiza striata but also its role as a myco heterotroph - an organism relying on fungal partners for sustenance. This symbiotic relationship between plant and fungi is beautifully exemplified here. Bob Gibbons' photograph encapsulates both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for our natural world. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary woodlands, extraordinary flora can flourish. Let this image transport you into the enchanting realm where striped coralroots thrive, inviting us to explore further into their fascinating biology while celebrating their innate beauty.
