The Hedgerow has a very old wall right at the start of it. All of today's pictures are taken from there. |
Two moss images. The one on the left (Homalothecium sericeum) expands its territory by sending out
fern-shaped growths. The one on the right (Tortula muralis) shows a couple of spore
capsules, and is about 1 cm across. There are small samples of lichens in
the right hand picture, too: Caloplaca citrina and Lecanora albescens.
|
Two Ferns, Wall Rue on the left and Maidenhair Spleenwort on the right.
|
Another fern, Rustyback, on the left and Ivy Leaved Toadflax on the right.
|
And finally, no wall page is complete without its Lichen picture. This sample of Caloplaca flavescens is about 6 cm across. The pale parts to the centre show grazing marks from a snail or slug.
