This was growing on silver [Lophozonia menziesii] and red [Fuscospora fusca] beech trees

Oak Mistletoe (Phoradendron villosum) - this species is common on White Oaks here on the Pacific Coast, in central and southern parts of it.

Mistletoe was hanging in the gym today, but everyone seemed to steer clear of it.

What happens here stays here, with an arch of lights and the mistletoe hanging down.

Charles Darwin National Park, Winnellie, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

While travelling through Boulia in Queensland a couple of years ago I noticed the mistletoe winding its way up an unfamiliar Eucalyptus tree.

Mistletoe plants growing in their host tree inside the churchyard at All Saints Church (or Church of All Saints) which is located within the confines of the private Braxted Park Estate and its very long perimeter wall near the villages of Great and Little Braxted in the County of Essex (UK).

Henry W. Coe State Park

220 of California's 279 state parks are in trouble:

Governor Schwarzenegger has once again drafted a proposal to close our state parks in an attempt to cut back on spending. This time the proposal includes 220 parks, instead of the previous 48. The proposal would eliminate nearly all state parks in the San Francisco Bay Area and a small crew of rangers will patrol the areas.

More info can be found here:

List of parks to be closed:

If you are interested in saving our state parks, please take the time to contact government officials regarding this decision. I'm sure there is a better way to handle the budget crisis.

This is our only little girl and she is very special! She is very very sweet and tender. She is calm and such a cutie pie! Like a lot of doodles she loves to be held and just wants to be with you all the time!

Tracie ordered this with priority shipping so she could wear it to our party.

I spotted this fallen flower on the dark, muddy earth. It was a Drooping Mistletoe (Amyema pendula)! [Katoomba, Upper Blue Mountains, NSW]

While travelling through Boulia in Queensland a couple of years ago I noticed the mistletoe winding its way up an unfamiliar Eucalyptus tree.

Some flowers hang down while others point upward.
