elias105Found a "shaggy fringe lichen" (Anaptychia palmulata) yesterday, but the name doesn't do it justice - it had the showiest blue flowers I have ever seen in a lichen.

George 🍦🚲 🥾 ✌️🌎 🌌@elias gorgeous blue
quixote@elias beautiful pics! I've never seen that color on a lichen either.
(Not "flowers" though. Calling them that is making me go 🤯 . Then again, "apothecia" may not mean all that much to readers either.)
@quixote I could call them discs or cups or just explain apothecia every time (the other day i ran into someone who had never heard the word "lichen") ... but eyes or flowers just sounds more poetic 🙂 And I'm not a botanist...
Harald Grunsky@elias Wonderful

Wow, I had no idea Lichen could be so delicate and pretty.
I must talk to mine and tell it to try harder!
