'Grass'

[Mark Evans]

nothing has been arranged in this shot, and it's straight from camera.

I went walking by the river and collected a whole host of mosses. The 2 blades of grass were growing naturally.The other things surrounding it are various moss species.

i've placed all the collected moss into my moss pot.

Are you planning on doing an emmersed setup (riparium perhaps ) or are all these mosses just for photography?

 

[Mark Evans]

A great idea Aaron, but so much moss would be needed. I do know of one place where it grows over huge meter squared areas, so it would be possible.

A nano would be perfect for this.... Damn, you got me thinking now! :?

Hi Saintly,
If you want lots of moss, I can provide it. My Lakeland garden is packed with the stuff - it grows across bare soil like a weed, and I regularly clear great clumps of it off the rockwork in the garden to keep a nice balance between bare rock and mosses.

Alternatively - move to Cumbria.

Watch what you gather, I had a look on the uk moss society website and they've set up a band of "moss minders" to ensure no pilfering takes place- it could get ugly

Mind you it was an endangered, nearly endangered, sorry to say it but quite thin on the ground, species list
