I love moss…the texture, the smell, the wonder of it all.

Now that high summer is coming back, I'm already longing for the cooler days to return.

Tortula ruralis (I think)

I thought I’d try my hand at making a little terrarium. I had quite a lot of moss growing out of nowhere from my (supposedly dead) sphagnum moss. I’d say it’s live sphagnum moss, but it’s not quite growing how it’s supposed to. It really looks more like just regular ol’ star moss to me.
