@lifewithtrees Here's a patch that I found in a nearby forest. My Jack Sparrow figurine is standing with them 😊

Yes, these are flowers! Dodders are parasitic relatives of Bindweed with rudimentary leaves and no chlorophyll. They look like strings winding and twining around their hosts.This twining rope of tiny white flowers coiling around a stem of Goldenrod is the inflorescence of Rope Dodder (Cuscuta glomerata).

Day 8: Mistletoe
#DoodleWashDecember2022 #ArtAdventCalendar
This is a line and wash sketch of the wire leaved mistletoe "Amyema pressii" which grows on acacias. A mistletoe native to Australia which has fascinating and beautiful flowers.
Mistletoe has a very important place in a healthy ecosystem. It provides shelter and food for a wide range of species including birds, butterflies and other insects.

I appear to have been the second person to have seen a #HairyPinesap in #RhodeIsland on #iNaturalist — wild! The taxonomic status of these #nativeplants is unsettled (Variety? Subspecies? Full species?) but one thing is certain — they’re #parasiticplants that steal nutrients from fungi! They are in fact highly reduced Heaths (#Ericaceae ) and I suppose a bit of this still shows in their appearance.
