Lichen III

These little (and I mean, teeny) red 'sprouts' on a mount of moss are lichens known as British Soldiers. I was told that it tends to grow in humid but cold climates like up here in Maine.

So do you grow anything at your house?

Lichen II

Lichen growing on the tree truck in Bar Harbor where the air is usually saturated with moisture. I am beginning to notice lichens every where here in Maine.

So have you noticed anything different in your town?

Lichens

These seaweed looking plants are lichens, a form of symbiotic organism that grows on tree trunks. The photo was taken at the Orono Bog Boardwalk where they can be seen everywhere.

So what are you plans for the weekend?
