Snow plant (Sarcodes sanguinea) "Саркодес кроваво красный" is a springtime flowering plant in the heath family (семейство вересковые [1]). It is a parasitic plant, unable to photosynthesize nutrients itself, that derives sustenance and nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi that attach to roots of trees.

Sarcodes sanguinea is native to western North America from Oregon through the mountains of California into Baja California. Its name derives from the striking bright scarlet red flower that emerges from the sometimes still snow-covered ground in early spring; this may be as late as mid-May in high elevations, such as those of the High Sierra Nevada.
