Cats Claws at Slangkop.

I took this pic on 09 09 2015 in the Slangkop Nature Reserve, 
Kommetjie during our hike there on that day.

Cat's Claws. Katnaels. Syobanche Sanguinea (Boomrape family).
A leafless root-parasite with a tubular stalk. Rare - found only in a few
locations. It is quite spectacular, especially its size - click & zoom in on it.
