Mistletoe is a parasitic plant, and contrary to popular belief, grows not only on oak but on several different species of trees including Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock. The berries are poisonous. However, the mistletoe shown in this image is a perpetual variety, created in Fimo modelling clay.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
