Answer
Dear docj77, you have photographed Aphyllon uniflorum (one-flowered cancer-root). This is a native, parasitic plant in the Orobanchaceae. It has been referred to as Orobanche uniflora in past literature, but recent studies demonstrate it belongs to a different genus. Great image. Best wishes.
