  Don't think anyone will complain about your recent postings of flowers lichens!

  My little contributions to the amazing variety of lichens; some pics taken quite a few years ago!

  Wow @Papi Jo those images are superb. Lichens are so otherworldly aren't they? When photographed close-up they look like planetary surfaces or the sea floor. Brilliant!

  @LunarSea Fabulous. I did some work on these for my degree and really discovered these little unknown plants. Good to see them back in the news.

  My little patch of Leucojum 'Gravetye Giant' has expanded a tiny bit two years in since planting some reduced bulbs really late in the season...always a joy to see.
