Small things #2

The lichens have always been fascinating - but this was the first time I'd seen the flat forms with the upright forms. They made a nice combo.
What interesting plants. Loving the tones here.

That is one of the coolest lichen plants or photos I have ever seen!

I just had to look it up… Your photo is much better than Wikipedia.
Ptychominon aciculare (colloquially known as ‘Pipe-cleaner Moss’) is a species of moss found predominantly in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Samoa, Juan Fernandez Islands and Chile.[1] It is easily recognised given its similarity, especially when partially dried, to a pipe-cleaner. This name is commonly accepted across Australia and New Zealand. It has been observed growing from between sea level to sub-alpine altitudes (1200m).[2]

@illinilass Wow Dorothy. Thank you so much for your lovely compliment and for that super information. I must admit I've never thought to check up on them. That's all so interesting. Thanks again. Cheers Rob

@ankers70 Thanks Suzanne. It's always interesting to read that an image looks good on black - so I thought maybe it means that some images would actually look better with something dark around them. Hence, I'm going to try a few with borders. If you have time and could be bothered, I'd really appreciate any comment you could make about whether or not any of them work. Thanks again. Cheers Rob
