this was all over the shrub brush in socal in early summer. I also thought it was really pretty, its like golden hair strewn across the cactus and flowers.

The first time I saw dodder in the wild it was a patch a bit always from me and I thought that someone spray painted the plants!

Japanese dodder, it will cling to anything with chlorophyll and feed on it. Quite a difficult to remove.

Oh cool! They’ll say it’s parasitic but Dodder has some strong anti-cancer properties and is used in traditional herbal medicine. Make a tea with some cuttings

It’s called Djinns Hair sometimes here in Turkey. Fascinating plant.
