Bob was returning from a trip to McCloud in northern California when he decided to drive home through Lassen Volcanic National Park. This was in June, which is still kind of early in the season for wildflowers in this park. During his drive, he saw this cluster of snow plants near the park road.
Snow plant is a parasitic plant, meaning that it grows off of nutrients that fungi attached to the roots of pine trees make available to it, rather than photosynthesizing. This is why the plant has no green chlorophyll in it.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
