Druids hold a misteltoe ritual at Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire. Experts are concerned that the decline of traditional cider orchards will lead to the loss of the mystical plant which grows on host trees. Mistletoe is regarded as a higly magical plant by druids. Photo Caroline Edge.
this is the red flowering mistletoe on my plum tree. I kept it just so I could observe these caterpillars from the jezzabel butterfly. however the plant is only a year old and not big enough to take so many grubs without possibly some or all of them dying so I decided to relocate them to another mistletoe on a private which I found to be a different species with green flowers and with different mistletoe grubs. now I will have to watch what will happen.

Portrait of my just purchased Specialized Hardrock mountain bike along the Beach Trail at Mistletoe State Park. Actually a chance to catch my breath, mountain biking lots different from riding on the coast.
