I garden for a lady who wages war on any moss which dares to encroach anywhere, including her old stone walls. I have to scrape it all off. For my part, I think it looks far prettier with a bit of moss. Just as well I like it, because if it wasn't for moss, I wouldn't have a lawn  |

Chuckles - presume these are your 'holiday' pics, rather than what you could find in your 'gaden'?
I think I have seen the yellow one and the sooty one growing together.

Hadn't got my camera on me and I'm anyway I don't think it would have looked good if anyone had seen me on my hands and knees ;D It was similar to Tig's No 6 pic. Not had time to take any other pics but, watch this space |

What a lovely thread. I have seen some lovely lichen on a old stone post in a wood. It also most looked blue in the light, I''l go again a take a pic. I love plants that are tiny and grow close too the ground, I have recently planted a mossy plant from New Zealand in the slpine garden, it it sooooo soft green, Ill get a pic of that too.

Its me again sorry re the spelling of 'alpine 'and 'too' is incorrect ... Oh dear!  The alpine is a Knawel cushion or scleranthus uniflorus. For mossy garden lovers. It seems hardy ....so far.... fingers crossed. |

I've always thought that Liverworts are fascinating as well....I know they can look unsightly in a pot..but if you get right down and look with a magnifying glass at the little palm tree like fruiting bodies...they're exquisite....
Amazing photographs by the way.. ;D

Not looked at this thread for a while. It's turned out to be a really fab subject and it just goes to show how many different mosses and lichen there are about when you start looking and wether you have a camera or not it does make you look at every thing so differently |

I used to do embroidery/applique type stuff, and that first pic of yours DB makes me want to get the thread out. Oh, I love a project.
Yes, where is Mr. Froggy?
