Love that you've done one featuring forests and plants (esp. bryophytes)! I think you like scientific Latin names, and that umbrella moss has a good one so I thought I'd share it - Dendrohypopterygium filiculiforme. Refers to it being highly branched, very fine, and having a little row of small leaves on the underside of the branches. Your liverwort is Monoclea forsteri, also :-)
Thank you Moss Scientist! I wondered if you'd see this one! Try saying that moss-name three times fast while drunk... Maybe at Sing Like a Pirate night
My taxonomy-fu is very rudimentary but I try to identify species when I can. I know more animals and mushrooms than plants. Bryophytes, insects etc. are whole other universes
The wine-stained plant looks like Horopito (Pseudowintera colorata)
Have you considered using/contributing to iNaturalist? Curious people documenting our biodiversity, citizen science and convenient species identification (via the sister app, Seek).
oh the great magic X the great eel X and great stories X
Your writing is a place for me to sit quietly and experience a world unknown to me, yet familiar. ❤️❤️❤️
A friend who I exchange critique with said it didn't grip him. I said he wasn't its intended audience. You, however, Heather, are!
I love this! Thank you Rosie

God, I sound like an ad-bot
I haven't, but I will look into it! Thanks
