Mistletoe
It's spring now in Texas
What will mistletoe do
when summer's heat comes on?
It hides--in green tree leaves.
I found these in another tree
for your to see up close.

Remember this spot for next
New Year's Eve mistletoe source.
Adi and I found the mistletoe while we were walking.
She would rather be looking for squirrels.

ReplyDeleteThe pics are very nice, Mr Jim :o)
Gday Jim, Nice Pics.Is Mistletoe a parasite plant?
ReplyDeleteCan you reach the mistletoe Jim or have you got to climb the tree?
ReplyDeleteLooking for squirrels is a good way to find mistletoe.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised mistletoe will grow in texas - I guess because of the association to Christmas, I tend to think of it as a cold-weather plant. But to your point, it can find shade in the summer. Does it only grow on oaks in Texas? I think that is the host tree in England etc.
ReplyDeleteHappy Looking At The Sky! ;)

Squirrels are more exciting than mistletoe!!
ReplyDeleteI know where lots of mistletoe is around here but it's too high to reach.
When I was a youngster I used to stand on the back of my horse to reach some mistletoe. Thankfully I had a nice horse that stood still for me!
ADI has such good eyes.....
ReplyDeleteI didn't know where mistletoe grew. Do you ever pick any of it?
ReplyDeleteThat Adi just wanted a bunch of kisses Mr.Jim but seeing as you were the only one about, she decided that looking for mistletoe was not very exciting!.....Love Terry
ReplyDeleteWho knew parasites were so pretty?
