A parasitic flowering plant. I expect more flowers in a few days.

I don't think we have anything like this in the UK, Interesting documentary and wikki write up.

I think you are correct, Maurice. The Wikipedia article says they live in parts of Asia, North America and northern South America. I remembered seeing them in this spot last autumn. When I looked, there they were.

If I remember right, one of very few plants that have no chlorophyl. Beautiful capture, Ronald.

They really are unusual. I spotted this little cluster of them several years ago, so I check the spot every autumn. When they aren't blooming, there is no evidence they are there.

Great find. One of my favorites, I always look out for them. They look like spooky daffodils. Most years we get a number of them but for some reason none showed up this year. No idea why not.
