Parasite plants

I have had 3 plants in my greenhouse that have had some kind of what seems to be some kind of parasite plant get attached to them. The parasite is a very light lime green in color, shows no leaves, just a long grapevine like stem that wraps around & around the stem,attaching to the plant stem with suckers that seem to penetrate the stem. The parasite stem is about 1mm in diameter. There is a root that is almost to thin to see. The parasite showed up on 2 pepper seedlings & 1 zinnia seedling. The only things in common is they were all in the same greenhouse, an all grown in miracle grow organic garden soil Help!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I have found out that my plant problem is a Dodder vine.It is a parasite, will produce a thousand seeds per vine. This had to have come in the Miracle-Grow Organic Garden Soil that I potted my plants in Look this vine up on the net. Spread the word about the potential dangers of using this damn Miracle-Grow soil See ya. Chilidon.
