Well, I have no idea what this is. It appears to me to be some sort of parasite, similar perhaps to the mistletoe that grows on trees here in the desert? It isn't everywhere, mostly in patches along the road.
First I thought this was only growing on dormant or dead plants (I can't tell the difference), but this host plant seems to be flowering. Actually, in the first picture the plant is much smaller but with the same blue flowers.
This is the same plant without the golden strands on it. I thought it was a purple sage, but I'm a city person, what do I know?
Anyone have any idea what this golden stuff is?

Yeah, I've seen that stuff out there. Of course you know with my short term memory problem, I can't remember even if I knew what it was called. That bush with the purple flowers is really pretty, but again I don't even know what that is. I'm just no help!

Plant called dodder, I think. Yes, a parasite
