Another moss lover here. The green of it, even in the cracks of the sidewalk, keeps going even through the coldest of our days. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I need to study/learn the names of all the mosses and lichens. So fascinating, so many forms, and so tough!
DeleteIs that an asplenium or something similar? Or have I not had enough coffee yet?
ReplyDeleteHollis: I admit I don't know the answer. I assumed it was a type of fern moss, but I'm not sure. I'll have to do more research. Thanks for the query!
DeletePutting my bot-nerd hat on now: I'm sure it's not a moss; without vascular tissue, mosses can't grow that long. It looks like an asplenium (a fern) but this is definitely NOT a positive identification! Do any of the leaflets have spores on the underside? It may well be a "higher" plant unfamiliar to me.
DeleteThis is a macro-ish view. It's way too teeny for me to see if it has spores on the underside. I'll send you an email with an Oak leaf for perspective. Or, later I'll get an even closer macro, if possible, before or after the snow. :)
Deleteah ... I bet it's not asplenium then. Good Luck!
DeleteGreen!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! And most of the winter, under the snow. They are tough!
DeleteNow that's a beautiful contrast! That's one tough plant.
ReplyDeleteYes, the mosses, lichens, and fungi are tough little life forms.
DeleteThat's a wonderful contrast between snow and living plant--and the "life will endure" underlying the contrast--bravo, little mosses!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are hardy little buggers. Gives me hope. :)
DeleteYou have to live here to know that that lovely image is not really that uncommon. I love moss and snow together.
ReplyDeleteTrue--not uncommon but special. :) Thanks, Linda. I love to view what's still green and growing under the snow.
DeleteBeth, A great example of winter beauty in the garden. As I walk around the gardens here - I see much of the same as you. It is beautiful. Thanks for the posting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, John. We are blessed. :)
DeleteSuch winter beauty!
ReplyDeleteYes, so tough and beautiful under the snow. ;-)
DeleteSuch a beautiful view of the moss peeking out from under the snow. Perhaps spring is on its way!
ReplyDeleteI hope spring is coming soon! The mosses are so fascinating!
DeleteThat is impressive. I am cautiously learning how very little I know about moss and fern, and all the other plants between and around them. Liverworts for example.
ReplyDeleteSame for me: There's so much to learn and understand. And I'm challenged enough to remember angiosperm common and Latin names, let alone all the bryophytes, pteridophytes, and gymnosperms. But I wish I could memorize all of them. ;-)
