Through the otherwise dark and green forest these flowers really popped out against the ground. At first I thought they were some sort of candystick or pinesap like I saw on my hike to <a href="https://bzimmer.ziclix.com/2008/07/18/heather-park-trail-an-enchanted-forest-and-views/">Heather Park</a> but closer inspection showed otherwise. The photo above used no flash &ndash; it took your eyes some adjusting to see them clearly even in the woods.</p>
