The organism being observed in this picture are the leaves growing on the trunk of the tree. It does not look like the leaves are apart of the tree but it is growing on the tree. Additionally, these leaves were also surrounded by moss which was also growing on the tree. These trees were found on a sidewalk in Wesley Chapel Florida.
This plant (the resurrection fern) seems to be flourishing by feeding off the plant and getting its nutrients from the plant.
