Question
could you ID this plant ? No leaves - just came up after mowing a patch of mugwort in central NH. stem is hairy
Answer
Dear katedski, good afternoon. You have photographed Aphyllon uniflorum (one-flowered cancer-root). If you looked this plant up in most guides, it would be under the name Orobanche uniflora. It is a parasitic plant that attaches to host species by root connections called haustoria. Best wishes.
