Cheers Matt will keep a look out for the Creeping moss and Madagascar moss in that link, does not appear to be any for sale on there at the moment. But just tempted to try any moss to be honest and see how it grows. Cheers Gordon.

im looking fr a moss that stays quite short and will bush out. Thanks for all the information Matt. Very helpful. Cheers Gordon.

Thanks for the reply Matt. What moss would be best for attaching itself, i quite like the look of the following mosses, would love to try some moss on a bit of slate and see if i can get some to grow. Christmas Moss -Vesicularia dubyana, spiky moss - taxiphyllum sp, flame moss =-taxiphyllum...

Whats the easiest way of attacing mosses to the hardscape like slate or rock? Does it have to be tied on or can you use super glue? Cheers Gordon.
