Thankyou Gardengus. It was helpful to have a friend along for the journey! I learned a lot today. I have heard of viruses on plants and know some parasite plants exist, like mistletoe...but, hadn't thought at all about the white flowers being parasites. Now that I think back...the flowers seemed to be popping out in some random areas along the stem, etc. I hadn't even noticed the strings attatched to the plant or in the pictures. I feel this experience helped increase my awareness and observation skills. The Professor I contacted also sent an article about Dodder and I agree it was very interesting! Take care Gardengus and look forward to seeing your posts on All Things Plants!
