Photos of plant life

Unfortunately I haven't gotten round to downloading the lichen (and mushroom!) photos so that I can upload them to this thread! But I wanted to wish all of you a plant-filled holiday season! I hope you can take lots of photos of plants you like and post them here! Carry on! Lots of love!

@PatienceImpatiens

Here's the lichen I promised you. The log is from a tree that is over 400 years old. Yes, I counted. The lichen, along with all the other rotting, gradually creates fertile soil and a "fungal network" that also allows trees to communicate with each other. Fascinating stuff. I like them lichens.

@PatienceImpatiens 400 years old! That's amazing! So cool you counted the rings 😊

Learning the forest communicates through fungal networks was quite integrating for me as it represents that everything is connected to me. There seems to be a really intentional way that elements are arranged.

Thank you for sharing this!

@recliningfate Yes, there's quite a bit of literature and scientific research on this communication at this point. Among other things I wish I was better at, it's quoting all this scientific research!

@PatienceImpatiens

Wow!

@ArianKae 😊

@PatienceImpatiens

Wish I was organised enough to look after plants... I think I'd end up killing them!

Some of these plants are beautiful ❤️

@Obstruct I'm glad you have this place to look at plants! Also, there's another few threads in this hobby zone that have some pretty cool plants to look at; then you can just enjoy without any worries!

@PatienceImpatiens Nice To Know Thank You ☺️
