I did think of that when I posted the dodder lol! That plant has a crazy lifecycle, has roots and leaves when it germinates then upon embedding into a host plant loses both and draws everything it needs until it flowers and drops seeds. I've gotta say this is and awesome thread!
Aww crap. I think you’re going to be waiting for daylight unless anyone has a picture handy. Nvm. This is a cultivated variety in my yard.
Well sheeit... I'll try to find something on the dog walk in the morning. It's most likely gonna be brown and dried up.
I'm just falling into the hammock for sleep after another long-ass day in the video studio, and I get this notice that a lion licking his chops tagged me about leaves, which makes no sense since they're carnivores, not vegans. I'll get back to you ...
