Enjoy bryophytes, botany, nature, art and life. Be kind and considerate. Sometimes on my Brompton.
Riccia huebeneriana seen in great abundance at Stithians reservoir today. We recorded only a few rosettes at this site in 2023 - an increasing population?

Here's a photomicrograph of the very small #liverwort Toothed Pouncewort (Drepanolejeunea hamatifolia) from West #Cornwall. It's very small and I didn't have my camera to photograph in situ! It's a temperate rainforest species.

Happy #BogDay. The most misunderstood ecosystems on our planet have been ridiculed, drained, burned, and destroyed throughout modern history. These water purifiers, carbon keepers, storytellers, and beautiful places deserve our respect, today and every day.

Here is a young plant of Wild Celery
