The bright green plants here are pickleweed, forming a dense stand of food and cover that's a favorite of the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse. The orange plants are marsh dodder, also a pickleweed predator after a fashion -- it parasitizes off the pickleweed. Creative commons photo by Mary Mactavish.
