I have seen similar colonies on walls in Ireland (a couple of times) and western Anglesey. Our Victorian and Edwardian forebears knew scattered colonies of G. orbicularis in various other localities in NW Wales and inland in England, and the loss of these has contributed to G orbicularis being red-listed. This species certainly isn't anything like as common as G pulvinata and I assume it cannot cope with the hard cement that G pulvinata colonises so readily.sambbryohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371859974181157877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572836115424987671.post-79556191613496830542017-03-01T21:42:45.893+00:002017-03-01T21:42:45.893+00:00Happy BirthdayHappy BirthdayCharles Hipkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830879011782542534noreply@blogger.com
