Thankyou Yvonne !

.. somehow I missed this! We had Mistletoe growing in our backyard in FL .. not here, though

Peggy.... it grows well in this state.. it is the State plant ... but sadly i dont have any at all closeby.

The very nice man who owns the winery 10 miles away has let me raid one of his trees for a bunch this past 2 years.

In return.. I have made a couple of graphics of a stylised version of his tree... which he likes alot !

One of them is on Ipernity the other isnt

Thankyou Janano !

So, I guess that you have the same tradition than here ....
It brings luck, more especially if people are kissing under it ...

Yes Christiane !

It is a symbol of plenty and of good luck and simple joy !

Lovely shot, Pam. It's not always good luck for the plants it parasitizes.

Ron... it doesnt kill the host....it has more sense !!

Thankyou Jean !

They look like grapes. Never seen a real mistletoe before.

It is the State plant here. It is slightly different to the European species I know... but close enough !

that's mistletoe.. huh.. never seen it before, I guess the berries turn red.
