An array of epiphytes for #LichenSubscribe and #Mosstodon. I snapped these pics of #Moss #Lichen and other #Epiphytes living on #Trees in the #WaipouaForest. The diversity and density of living things there was breathtaking. #Aotearoa #NewZealand

Is #ThickTrunkTuesday a thing here? If so here’s my contribution.

Tāne Mahuta, god of the forest, is the largest living Kauri tree. It is over 1000 years old and these photos truely do not capture its enormous presence.

The trunks and canopies of trees in this forest are covered in epiphytes: small plants that grow on other plants symbiotically. #kauriTree #taneMahuta #Aotearoa #NewZeland #waipouaForest
