I never thought I'd become so entranced by mosses!! I did a course on them in North Wales while I was at University (my chief memory being a goat underneath a table at a cafe we went to) and tried to get to grips with them in my survey days on Salisbury Plain. For several years I managed a project on their ex situ conservation but it wasn't until I was responsible for growing them myself that I was really smitten (these photos from down the microscope are some I grew from tiny pieces of leaf) So much to discover and now potential for a Very Big Project on the cards. They may start creeping into my quilts.Perhaps I'm turning into a Moss Witch, if so Ian beware!!
