Dodder bursting out of a host stem to flower. They don't usually reside inside other plants so this was worth a pic. Normally they just wrap around another plant and send in root-like haustoria to suck the juices out, like the situation you can see on the left. #cuscuta #dodder #convolvulaceae #parasitic #parasite #plants #botany #biology

Aquests "cabells" florits són d'una planta (Cuscuta approximata) que paràsita altres plantes (les fulles verdes que apareixen a sota).
A Catalunya ha estat observada sobretot a les terres interiors i pirinenques, i de manera molt més escassa a la resta del territori. Recentment trobada a les Guilleries.

The morning glory on ivy combo is gonna work so well: the rather young morning glory in a pot near an ivy covered wall has already climbed to nearly 2 m. Come springtime, and I will sow most of my morning glory seeds under the ivy. 😍

I am also a big fan of this plant. 😻
This year I found out that although the plants will die away during the winter, their seeds are frost hardy (at least down to −6°C). So come the spring and I will sow a lot of morning glories at the foot of a long ivy covered wall in my garden, in the hope that the glories will use the ivy as kind of a live trellis support and make the ivy more colourful during the summer. And if this works, I hope the seeds will germinate the year after and perpetuate the cycle.
Anyone here who have tried this?
