I was out in the garden behind our friends house again today..so much to see. I venture to guess it could be part of a garden tour it has so much. The lichen and moss covers many rocks. I love the patterns each of the lichen have....Lichens come in many colors, sizes, and forms. The properties are sometimes plant-like, but lichens are not plants. Lichens are not related to mosses or any plant. Lichens dont have roots that absorb water and nutrients. Instead they produce their own food from sunlight, air, water, and minerals in their environment. They are not parasites on the plants they may grow on, but only use them as a substrate to grow on or in. They are really quite fascinating.
