STEP LIGHTLY ON YOUR LIVERWORT |
No exquisite blossom to delight you in the Spring But a quiet mediocrities this raspy bryophyta brings Why is the corrugated interloper, so supine puckered green and brown, much maligned. Languishing dejected, unique and bizarre. This raspy liverwort – sometimes black as tar. That austere scabrous plant, survivor extraordinaire Growing for it's own sake, requiring no care on sodden barren ground – requires only air. Insects do not relish it, slugs just slip away. So step lightly on your liverwort. Let it stay. Every garden needs liverwort to remind the human race Someday you'll be wrinkled with warts upon your face. | ![]() |
