I have a secret spot where I'm allowed to lift some of the lushest moss in the area. I lift it carefully, take it home, and place it carefully in a growing flat. I keep it in a shady moist place and use the intact pieces when I show something (which is rare.)
I have two or three accents that I use it with. The samples I use with accents came with their own naturally occurring plants. One has a fern and a couple blades of grass with it. One had a rounded leaf plant that's kind of cool too. If I ever produce a show quality native tree, that's what these accents will be good for, I think. Also, I have a couple of small hypertufa pots I made a few years ago. The moss seems to be able to handle the concrete without problems.

Looking forward to the next installments!
