This variant lacks chlorophyll and but is able to flower and fruit successfully and must depend entirely on its fungal partner for nutrition. This is not the pinkest plant I’ve seen posted but nevertheless I was pleased to see it as it was the first of this variety I’ve seen.Jeff Hodgson</blockquote>
