Parasites are Beautiful, Too



Entry No. 30




Although the plant is quite lovely, it's what led to the photo that is wonderful.  This parasitic vine grows up around the fuschia in our front yard every year.  No matter how I try I can never get rid of it.  This spring Julian thought he would try.   Yard by yard, as he unwound it he became enthralled with the way the leaves grow and asked me to take a picture of it.  The wonderful thing is that it only took 10 minutes outside for my gadget-loving boy to fall in love with a lowly weed.
