| In early summer I photographed this little flower and I am trying to find out what it is. I found it on my property in Arroyo Grande CA. We have lots of scrub oaks and sage. It was on the west side of the oaks in part shade. I collected seeds today because the pods are now opening. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I looked all over the web, but couldn't find anything.

| Seems to be a parasitic plant like those in the genus Orobanche, commonly known as broomrapes. |

| Probably Orobanche bulbosa |

| Nonmember is correct. In fact your image includes a shot of its host plant, Adenostoma fasciculata |
Here is a link that might be useful: Orobanche bulbosa
