Every moss is a surprise package.
To unwrap the wonders of this miniature world, just get down to its level. Far from finding only soft green beds, so tempting to bare feet, you'll discover a flamboyant parade of colours and shapes. Moss, like many things with pleasant connotations, has innocently lent its name and magic to a confusing array of quite unrelated things. Thus we have Spanish moss, Reindeer moss, Scotch moss and Irish moss, none of which is a true moss. There are moss roses and moss pinks in our own gardens.
