Moss Castle

Appreciation of mosses - this beautiful piece of art and resilience awed me when I encountered it.


Robin Wall Kimmerer points out in her amazing book Gathering Moss that mosses are an extremely resilient plant, having endured every climate change that has ever happened.  


They are amazing and incredibly adaptable - "A moss can lose up to 98% of its moisture and still survive to restore itself once the supply of water is restored. Even after 40 years of dehydration in a musty specimen cabinet, mosses have been fully revived after a quick dunk in a Petri dish." Moss
