Tiny moss plant on the garden wall
Following on from yesterdays unsuccessful attempt to find anything worth photographing at all I braved the wind and rain to rummage round the garden to find something (anything) to bring you today!
This tiny moss plant was growing on my garden wall. I suspect there are similar moss plants growing on walls everywhere mostly unseen!!
This one has little fruiting bodies that produce spores, a whole facinating process in it's own right.
The capsule has a little hood called a 'calyptra' which falls off as it dries and matures allowing the spores to be shed.
