Mistletoe
Well it’s nearly Christmas and I happened upon some Mistletoe (Viscum Album) a hemiparasitic plant that gets all it’s water and nutrients from it’s host plant. I should explain hemiparasitic as apposed to parasitic, this is because the Mistletoe does use photosynthesis for a short period of it’s life cycle.

Alder cones and catkins
Alder is monoecious, this means that it produces both male and female flowers on the same tree. The male flowers or catkins are a dark yellow brown colour, about 2 inches long when open while the female flowers are more cone shape, smaller and reddish in colour.
