From the urban decay series but as it's plant life, well mycobiont/photobiont, WELL NOT QUITE thought it better here

Nice and I like the angle and shallow DoF. Unfortunately but most of what i can see are actually mosses (Bryophyta) and so only a singles species. They are sporing though! Here are some Lichens (from Southern Greece in this case on Limestone at the Ancient Theatre of Megalopolis).

Thanks Pete...........perhaps I should re-title..wouldn't want to put out misinfo..........now you see why I don't do much gardening love the texture in yours v nice

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Kev. I have hundreds and hundreds of shots of these and similar taken during surveys etc. They often have nice colours and textures. Some of the colonies in this shot are well over 60 years old and have grown since the first phase of excavation at the site.
