Question
Plant silhouette and grouping very similar to Indian pipe - One group Of 8 or so along bike path between High ahead and Head of the Meadow Beach N. Truro - no visible leaves, one Horizontal flower per stem, white blossom, 5 equal petals, each petal a fine blue (Very possibly pink but I think blue) line down middle, Plant 4” tall. Other plants - shad, arrowwood viburnum, blueberry.
Answer
Dear Charlotte, You have drawn a plant that looks much like Aphyllon uniflorum (one-flowered cancer-root). This plant has gone by the name Orobanche uniflora, so you may want to search online using the older name to find more images to confirm the identification. Best wishes.
