This is not the best time of year in my part of the world for mosses, but I found these ones doing well on a stone retaining wall in the park near my home. In another few weeks, they'll be all dried up.

So the stuff growing in long stands is moss? I think of moss as more of a cushion, at least what I have seen. The colors look very right.

Yes, the green are tiny mosses. So are the reddish stuff on the upper left, though those are a different species and are drier. The green mosses only stand about 1/8" proud of the stone face.

Good eye for the marvelous that are so often overlooked!
The download, I agree, is excellent and not-to-be-missed!

Thanks for posting.
