On a walk to find the County flower of Sussex, many species of plants and insects were found including Dodder, a parasite feeding on the hemi-parasitic Eyebright. Dodders lack roots and leaves, and also lack chlorophyll, the green pigment found in most plants. Dodders have slender, yellow-orange stems that cover infected plants in a spreading, tangled, mass. This Dodder plant has white flowers in July 2024.
