Common Broomrape (Orobanche minor) (22/05/2022) Footpath along Adur River, heading towards Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex. Nothing else quite like it, although there are several other Broomrapes, they don't look like this. They are rather interesting as they cannot produce chlorophyl themselves, so instead are parasitic.
