Regular meeting.

Mosses and Lichens: Beauty and Beyond

“…mosses, like love, make even the ugliest objects beautiful, for they hid all defects within their own loveliness.” – Day, Helen Evelyn. (fide: Russell (1908) (in Edwards, S.R. 1995. Mosses in English Literature. Supplement Three. Bull. Brit. Bryol. Soc. 65:45-47.)

Imagine a Monet with color; a forest without trees.  Imagine a world without mosses. To do this you must appreciate the world without mosses. This talk will attempt to sharpen your focus on these ubiquitous, beautiful and fascinating plants.
