Hello, Does anybody know what the attached plant is? It is obviously in its early stages and is growing in pasture in Wiltshire? Many thanks. Ross

I think that will turn out to be an orobanche (broomrape). They are parasitic on other plants.

Reminds me of a broomrape, genus Orobanche. Keep watching.
