| 説明 | These are extraordinary flowers sprout up through the sands of the beaches of Cape Verde. I think this is Cistanche tubulosa, sometimes called the desert hyacinth.They are parasites, having no chlorophyll and getting all their water and nutrients from a host plant, often some way away. They are the oddest site, a 6-12 inch yellow spike of flowers, seemingly sprouting from nothing.Rather oddly, their extensive roots have a long tradition in Traditional Chinese Medicine, also having the moniker Ginseng of the Desert. And now, typically, they are heavily harvested and becoming rare in the Chinese deserts. Anyway, I left nothing but footprints and took nothing but photos.
