You sure?
If so, then that settles that. The bracts are a bit broad for D. bracteata anyway.
Agree with Casper's orobanchithingamy, except I dont recall the bracts being so big?

Looks like...

Sorry, Tony!

Was at work and it seemed likely, but C ingeanum I know is very close so I just wanted to check it in my guide. A close-up of the flower would clinch it; however I know that these little beasties are difficult to photograph - I have had trouble getting a clear shot each time I came across it.
