  1. I’m picturing a villain, such as David Robert Jones in Fringe, gazing at his prized tree and asking his prisoner “Would you like to know how the albino vampire redwood tree survives? By slowly sucking the energy out of its victim.” Then to his tree, “Are you hungry Sarlacc?”

  2. Very interesting. I wonder if some modern parasitic plants originated in a similar way.
