Lichen


Lichen is one of the few things about which I know little.  (I know about pretty much everything else, although sometimes I can't remember whether Kafka was Czech or German.)  When she was little, EDO liked to tease me by calling it "licha."  I knew she was mispronouncing it, but that was about all I knew.  We were out on a little ridge today and she pointed out how beautiful the lichen were.  She was right.  I think there are at least three of them in the picture, two of which are lighted like neon.  Is my reader a lichenologist?  Genus and species, please.
