Mound of mistletoe…Desert mistletoe (Phoradendron californicum) that is. #TBT to our spring visit to Joshua Tree National Park. This hemiparasitic leafless plant is a Mojave Desert native and all you can see here are its red and orange berries as it has completely overtaken (and killed) this host bush. #desertmistletoe #mesquitemistletoe #phoradendroncalifornicum #mistletoe #joshuatree #mastodonpeaktrail #thehorticult
