Broomrapes
Broomrapes are root-parasitic plants lacking chlorophyll, deriving nutrients directly from their host plants' roots. Typically without leaves or traditional green stems, they possess a distinctive flowering stalk that emerges from the soil to bloom. These blooms vary in color, often seen in shades of blue, purple, or yellow. Adapted to a variety of environments, broomrapes's survival depends heavily on the presence of specific host plants.
