I might have to try Hellebore on moss – they seem to just shrivel and go limp when I’ve picked them, maybe they just want a moss bed to lie in! I love the whole plate – and the view and the rust/muscaria juxtaposition.

Memo to self – buy muscari bulbs next year! I was looking at moss and lichens on a tree trunk today and they are amazingly varied in shape size and colour but you need to get up cose to appreciate them properly.

It is not a showy plant is it, but I like its perky bead-like quality.

Thank you Cathy. I was walking along a very icily windy beach today and thought of you as I found a little heart-shaped stone. ❤ 🙂

Aww, that’s lovely to hear Sandra 😊 It must have been very bracing, walking along your very icily windy beach today – and blown away a few cobwebs 😁

You have hit both nails on the head Cathy!
I needed some cobwebs ejected! My nose, ears and fingertips were nearly frozen – so ‘bracing’ is right! And so good.

Moss does give a great green background and is that a strawberry plant?

Yes, it is a little wild strawberry that was growing in the moss when I collected it from the garden.
