2008 June 2Quite a name for quite a pretty little flower. It is hemiparasitic, as it derives at least some of its nourishment by attaching itself to the roots of other plants and the balance from photosynthesis. It is a member of the Sandalwood family. It puts out a berry like fruit that I'll have to keep my eye peeled for. I've never noticed this plant before this year.
