Hayley Twigs in Hair HowardHawthorn seem to have the best growing habitat for moss and lichen, a whole mini landscape on this one twig #Mosstodon #lichensubscribe #lichen
Reino 🍋@Twigs good morning, Hayley.
Have a good weekend !
@reinoradeboer morning Reino, waiting for the rain to stop then I will venture out. Have a great weekend 😊
holly allen@Twigs so much diversity on one branch!
@graftandspur it is so beautiful, my pic didn’t do it justice. Glad it’s not just me that appreciates the twig 😁
@Twigs I totally appreciate the twiggage 😍
Solar🌄Garden@Twigs Strong, slow-growing tree that's not so dense as to shade all the light from its inhabitants, maybe. 💚 I like that you identify as well as record the appearance of your specimens. Does paid job involve nature knowledge or is that just leisure?
@wavesculptor leisure, try to spend all my free time out in the natural world
CC@Twigs yes! Definitely! I saw my first example of hair ice on an old hawthorn
@WanabeSelkie hair ice is fascinating stuff, the temperature and climate has to be exactly right for it to grow. Magical
@Twigs I'd walked the nature trails, where the ancient hawthorn hedge grows, for decades....it was the first time I'd ever seen hair ice. A few people I follow experienced hair ice at a similar time - weather must have been just right for it in Scotland that week
@WanabeSelkie I was near not far from where I was today when I saw mine too. In the woods it was probably the same time, I remember it was a bitterly cold day
@Twigs bitterly cold night/day just after heavy rain & milder temps

@Twigs Thanks, good to know. Ours are still quite small, so I gotta prune them bonsai-like. An oversized bonsai, but still. Make them grow much old wood without becoming exceessive in overall size.
@iteration523 Hawthorn is such a great staple tree, full of life
David@organicgay what beautiful eggs, which bird are they from, I’m not very knowledgeable with birds
@Twigs American Robin :)
@organicgay gorgeous colour

Plants and Stuff@Twigs Well, that’s a buffet on that little twig. And your photography skills are amazing too. I’m jealous of you European folks. Here in New York, it’s a little dry (or at least where I am) for us to such diverse greenery of the mosses and lichens. Enjoy finding and shooting them!
@plants parks and gardens are great places too, but I am blessed or not with the damp climate and beautiful countryside where I am. Check out those pavement cracks, it’s amazing what grows in them 😊
Bonnie Schwertner@Twigs Excellent!!
