Pyrenodesmia albovariegata Met a little girl last week with red hair and complimented her on it. She said she never saw people with her hair color, and I told her that there are lots of redheads in my family and proceeded to show her pictures. I don’t know if it made her feel seen, or made her feel a little less special (oops, sorry kid), but it got me thinking. I know you may look at P. albovariegata and think, psh, whatever, a boring gray lichen. But listen, this guy is in the Teloschistaceae family, and most of those lichens are bright orange/red. P. albovariegata is actually an original! A stand out! The gray sheep of the family. Someone’s ordinary can totally be someone else’s extraordinary! Keep that in mind when seeing the world everyday and you will never be bored.images: source | sourceinfo: source -- source link
