Ghost Plant, Monotropa uniflora. Ericaceae family. What an honor to find these rare beauties! They aren’t out in their full glory yet, but they are still breathtaking. These
plants completely lack chlorophyll and cannot do photosynthesis.
Instead, they get their nutrients from the fungi that are attached to
nearby conifers. Tiger Mountain, WA. 6/5/2015.
So each Summer, for the past 3 years, I have fostered and fed red-back spiders. I catch them in my yard (in Australia of course) in the hopes of keeping them away from my animals, and I can’t bear to kill them, so I keep them. They’re homed separately, stacked on top of each other. I’ve grown unexpectedly attached to my little, fatal, towering-death army.
Be it known that you crush heads! Be it known that you devour corpses like a dog! Be it known that your gaze is terrible! Be it known that you lift your terrible gaze! Be it known that you have flashing eyes! Be it known that you are unshakeable and unyielding! Be it known that you always stand triumphant!
Enheduanna, The Exaltation of Inanna
