The major subject is a lichen in the family Parmeliaceae (perhaps a species of Flavoparmelia) with bits of an Usnea as well. Not in flower, because lichens don't have flowers. The brown cups of the parmeliod lichen and the smooth, pale greenish disks of the Usnea are were the fungal partners of the two lichens produce their spores.
