Early in the colony it was also known as the &#8216;fire-tree&#8217;, thanks to its bright orange colouring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It flowers from October to February, a time that incorporates our Christmas period, thus its English name.  When I was a kid it was was explained to me that it lives off other trees &#8211; the technical term is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parasitic_plant\">hemiparasitic<\/a>. It&#8217;s very versatile in that can live off of many different species, but despite that it&#8217;s actually hard to cultivate. It was once widely seen around the coastal plain of Perth but its habitat has since been heavily cleared. I know of a few big patches of them that still hug the line of the Perth hills, which I smile at each time I see them.
