anyone? It's almost unknown in but it appeared on a live basil plant we bought in the supermarket. It's a weird tendrilled parasitic plant that feeds off the host. Apparently the dodder will flower but I won't let it for fear of getting dodder seed into our soil.

Stained cross-section showing dodder (Cuscuta) haustoria penetrating the stem of Chenopodium album. My favorite parasitic plant.

First time I've seen a Coal Tit in the garden! Peanut feeder seems to be the draw. Blue Tits gave it some attitude though.

First time spotting a Goldcrest in the garden. No interest in the seed or peanut feeders, stuck to the bushes looking for insects.

This blew my mind when I figured out what it was. It's a parasitic plant called . Kind of a bummer since it's liable to screw up my gardening plans. No proper roots and almost no chlorophyll. It attaches those yellow tendrils to green plants to get nutrients. Only other parasitic flowering plant that comes to mind is . They were growing on goathead vines (awful plants). I've since seen them growing together elsewhere. It doesn't seem to kill them like it does other .

Spotted on my walk through the valley park up into the foothills of the mountains (did a loop going up to the Bohernabreena reservoir, then to Bohernabreena church and back down again).
There are a few playgrounds popping up in the park.
