The Wikipedia picture is definitely Pinesap. However, it is definitely possible to have an Indian Pipe with pinkish flesh.<BR/>=jack=jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512626739502200376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602992.post-1158451008710111122006-09-16T19:56:00.000-04:002006-09-16T19:56:00.000-04:00A link to Wikipedia photo of red tinted Indian Pip...A link to Wikipedia photo of red tinted Indian Pipes.
