Liverworts are one of the oldest living ancestors of modern plants, their life cycles are kinda weird, they look more like something that grows in a petri dish than a plant, and this one looks like snake skin

I just finished a two week, three credit-hour crash course primarily on mosses, but it included liverworts and hornworts a bit, too. So to find one in the wild was really cool because it’s the first time in my life I’ve seen one.

They’re just weird and I like em

It’s ALIVE!
