Hmm! Went and read about how Broomrape survives, parasitic, attaching to the roots of other plants. Like an albino Redwood, or Dodder, sort of ... parasitic plants are fascinating. Thanks, I'd like to find one of these!

Thanks, I love these plants and their way of feeding...

Thank you, Lenny! I tried to ID this plant at species level, the closest match is O. variegata...
