cottonmanifesto has been encouraging the dodder which is parasitizing the Japanese knotweed along the Boston side of the Muddy River near our house.





It's doing quite well.

Err...how exactly is she "encouraging" it? Coy, sidelong glances? A glimpse of ankle??

Or do you mean "she's not actively tearing it out"?

Laughing at its jokes? ;)

Aha! One lingering question solved. I had seen the globs of "yellow stuff" across the water on my commutes, and wondered what they were.
