| | | A Broomrape?
I have a few pictures I have taken this year of plants which I have been unable to positively ID. This is one of them, taken earlier this year. Anyone know what it is, there were lots of them around on a meadow.  |

PMJ.
Your plant is Common Broomrape - Orobanche minor.

Thank you very much indeed Dorts. There was quite a lot of it but the other plants which I have just read it is parasitic on did not seem to be suffering much, their was certainly no shortage of clover. |

It may weaken them slightly, but that's about all.
