Question
Hello, I'm following up my inquiry about common dodder (Cuscuta gronovii) with photos of the (now) open flower. The flowers are so small, it was hard to get a good angle. Fingers crossed there's enough visual info to confirm an ID! Thanks!
Answer
Dear sldz22, good afternoon. You have photographed Cuscuta gronovii, a common species of dodder with 5 petals that are blunt at the apex. This is the most common species of Cuscuta in the northeastern US. Best wishes.
