(Google translate from Czech)

Nature. Singed by many, "suffered" by others. We can think what we want but it does not change the fact that in nature everything has a purpose and a place.



Greetings to all fans of Amazing Nature Community.



Although we give things different names, it is a name from a human point of view. Nature probably "sees" it completely differently :-).

The topics for this thematic challenge are:

PARASITIC PLANTS

As soon as one hears the word "parasite", one immediately imagines something terrible. As I wrote in the introduction, everything has its place and purpose in nature.

Your task for this topic will be:

  • take a documentary photo of the plant
  • try to find out and give a scientific name
  • state in the description what attracted you to the plant and some information about the plant for the rest of us

Followed, how else, a little inspiration for you :-)

Mistletoe

This small twig belongs to the plant White Mistletoe (Viscum album). It is a semi-parasitic plant. To grow, it needs water and minerals, which it "obtains" by connecting with the "host" tree. In return, it "returns" to the tree part of the production from its own photosynthesis.

Mistletoe has healing effects. Among other things, it has demonstrable effects on certain types of tumors or on improving the immunity to AIDS. In ancient times, it was considered a "plant of the gods." Many certainly know the Christmas custom of donating mistletoe for happiness and maintaining a partnership.

I wish you success in fulfilling this challenge and many beautiful moments in nature.

Hello dear friends @amazingnature @bucipuci good day
Excellent the theme of this week; I have seen some trees hosting a parasite, without complicating it, I think I will be able to participate this week, the week before I had everything prepared, but an unexpected one arose and I ran out of time to participate.
I take this opportunity to wish you all a splendid day
