Above: photos I’ve just scanned in (old slide scanner + Vista 64 bit = &*!!!^^#!!!), taken a few weeks ago in Wytham woods and around the local streets. I became slightly obsessed with moss when I was planning my shed installation, hoping to cover the roof of my shed with moss. But in the UK it feels wrong to remove moss from its natural habitat, and there was no time to grow my own, so turf it was. I did track down the wonderful Moss Acres web site in the States, where they cultivate moss for landscape gardeners etc. And then I found a great natural moss lawn just round the corner (photograph top left, above).
I was only slightly obsessed, mind, and do not yet possess a magnifying lens to allow me to tell mosses apart.
