Mosses

[treeguy]

Figure it out for an Android and retire comfortably.

This gets easier! I have cellphone with 3.9GB internal and a 119GB SIM for extra memory. If you have Word you can make a .pdf with any content you want. I aggregate info on Moss, or ID keys for Dawn Redwood, AHS Registered Hosta Names, my B-B-Q baste, or anything of specific nature that I might want to consult when I'm laying drunk in somebody's yard and I want to impress the squirrels with my command of all knowledge and ID what kind of acorn or Pine cone I'm laying on. I save the file in Word as a .doc file (because I can't edit a .pdf file if I want to add more data or photos later) and then save it again as a .pdf file. I can store the .pdf in my SIM memory and call it up anywhere, on the face of the Earth! If you have an IPhone you're out of luck. Herewith, reduced to a .pdf, a sample handout that may be of interest to people who are interested in collecting Moss for use in gardens or on bonsai, but don't really want a degree in bryophytology:

I thank you for your profound timing! I was lying here on my post bbq steak couch in an absolutely wonderful ribeye afterglow - with no plans to move for the rest of the evening- and I find it somehow universally harmonious that I am thoroughly entertained by reading about moss! I feel very mossy. There is balance out there, is there not? Thank you!

Zigs told me to tell you it's on the top of the greenhouse - he's tall enough to see the moss up there

Possibly a
Campylopus introflexus
Heath Star Moss

I'll have to have a closer look in daylight

Somehow I find it hilarious when I can say "You would know!".

I propagated some moss and put it round the pond

it was growing fine until the nesting season started and Mr Blackbird decided he wanted it lol.

Here is the moss around my house. Dare I ask for a proper identification in the face of my smirky commentary? I should hope so anyway...

Yep, those ruddy blackbirds are sods! They have removed all the moss around Ziggy's bonsai trees, destroyed his moss garden, and pulled out loads of bulbs from pots for me as well. Every time I sweep the paths they scatter debris all over them again.

I don't mind them to be honest Tets they was welcome to it, i also put the birds a plant pot full of soil in the edge of the pond to use in there nest my garden is built round wildlife.

Think you have a
Tufted Feather-moss - Scleropodium cespitans

it was growing fine until the nesting season started and Mr Blackbird decided he wanted it lol.

They wait till autumn and then dig it all out looking for grubs too

It will grow on rocks here.

You mean, YOUR rocks are the right compounds for one species of moss. Steal a couple and give them a new home with about the same conditions. Or, send me the location...
