This cactus mistletoe is a parasite that penetrates the surface of cacti and grows within. A year after being sustained by the cactus’ water store, their vibrant flowers erupt ready to be pollinated.

And the one shown above (Quintral del Quisco) is said to lower cholesterol levels. Always dreamed of seeing a timelapse of it. Sooo beautifully recorded 🥲 Gracias 💙 🦉🪶For the bird lovers: Tenca (Chilean mockingbird), Picaflor Chico (Green-backed firecrown hummingbird), Cóndor (Andean Condor)

      @Adam-vj7dn@Adam-vj7dn2 жыл бұрын

    • It's neither good nor bad. It just is. Like all of the rest of nature. Things can only be good or bad in relation to a goal, and nature doesn't have a goal because it is not sentient. Humans tend to anthropomorphise nature far too much.

      @theclockworkcadaver7025@theclockworkcadaver70252 жыл бұрын

    • Good and bad are relative terms and so can't really apply to the dog eat dog dynamic of nature that is inherent to its existence and sustainability in the first place. However in more human terms, it doesn't cause any pain/suffering nor is it a threat to the cactus species extinction for instance. Meaning that it can be said that it isnt 'bad' (per se) ;)

    @Adyen11234@Adyen112342 жыл бұрын

    • It is a persistent parasite of the plant, it never leaves, and grows deep into the roots of the cactus. It continues to live within the cactus even after its first reproduction cycle. But hey, at least the birds get some tasty seeds :)

    • @@SGIndra Most mistletoes are hemiparasites and tap into their host plant for water/nutrients, while also photosynthesizing to varying extents from species to species or at different points during its development. Some mistletoes, such as Tristerix, are fully parasitic and live almost entirely within their host plant and do not photosynthesize. Parasitism and loss of chlorophyll/photosynthesis evolved independently in the distantly related Rafflesia.
