Thankyou Valleylynn! I am glad I reached out to ATP! It has been great. I am so glad you liked my post and the info about dodder. Jay's photos and everybody's input has been very helpful and appreciated and I am grateful to the Professor at NMSU...I just sent him an email online...and he answered right away with an article about dodder. This experience has taught me a lot more about plants and I am grateful to all!
