It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas_DSC5799
The beautiful Western Australian Christmas trees are in bloom. Nuytsia floribunda was dubbed the native Christmas tree by colonists because it bursts out in orange blooms in December.The nuytsia have an additional Christmas association - the tree is also the world's largest variety of mistletoe.They are hemiparasitic plants, and grow by attaching themselves to host plants and draw water and nutrition from the host.
If you have the inclination,it looks better on black.
Love the colour.
