Thyme moss (Plagiomnium sp.)

Thyme mosses are another one of my favourite mosses, because unlike some mosses which don't really animate very much, thyme mosses produce this amazing animation where the leaves crumple as they dry out and prepare for the future arrival of water. 

This video is part of the "Manitoba's Marvelous Mosses" series I made to highlight salient artistic and scientific aspects of Manitoban mosses. Visit www.momentaryvitality.ca/explore/bryophyta.shtml to learn more.
