That's why they can even grow on rocks - they don't have roots!<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen<BR/><BR/>I love lichen!!! 8^)USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022127357351726767.post-42845022824870070322008-11-26T20:16:00.000-08:002008-11-26T20:16:00.000-08:00Where oh where is Uselaine?
