One that will make some scratch their heads.

One of my Marchantia polymorpha is starting to flaunt its female bits.  A cute little thing  this one .

Marchantia polymorpha archegoniophore



I also spotted Conocephalum salebrosum on a return trip to the River Meden in Pleasley Vale. I also found at least a further two species which I have still to identify.

The three species of Liverwort that I've so far found in Wilton Lodge Park, Hawick, starting from the waterfall of the Cala Burn downstream.
Lunularia cruciata inhabits the section nearest to the waterfall and then it's the turn of  Conocephalum conicum. The latter covers a larger expanse on both sides of the burn, slowly petering out as the terrain opens out and overhead cover decreases. Marchantia polymorpha is the furthest downstream and is in the most open situation, occupying a flat area just to the side of the burn but not actually on its banks.
Finally a bonus Lichen that shouted at me as I returned to the car.

Some nice bryophyte habitat, Fred.

I've not found Peltigera collina but note from the national database it has been recorded from Stornoway. Don't get up there too often but will look for it next time.

Not sure if this is the right place to post these pictures but your interests may just stretch to these.

On our last visit to Tallinn Botanic Garden we were introduced to a new project they had set up as a visitor attraction.

I apologise for the quality of the 2nd picture but the bark on the tree in the background is in focus

I would love to see how this exhibit has fared with time.  I think it would be rather difficult to have the correct conditions for all these examples.  There were ofcourse many more but I must admit I'm more drawn to ferns and flowers.

This last photo was the one I doctored for last years East Lancs photo comp.

Ferns are good Shelagh. Ferns in a moss garden even better. Or would it be moss in a fernery?
