Last weekend my good friend David Leeman returned to the city from a visit to his parents barring a flat of mosses that he had cleared off their roof. Now, I had no excuse, I had the plants and the containers, there was nothing for it but to get cracking.
Here are the results, I have to add that I am moss neophyte and as yet, I can only vaguely identify the species, but so far I can see that I have some Sphagnum, Racomitrium and even some goblet lichens (Cladonia).
The start of my container moss gardens.
Some are with single species( Aulacomnium ??).
Most are a mosaic of different species.

Dear Barry, This is utterly magical. What a lovely idea.
I was transported, figuratively, to Saiho-ji after your post, Barry!
Hi Isobel,
Glad you liked this idea, I have others I want to explore.
It is a bit heavy on the magic and light on the science, I really would like to identify the various species.
Hi Paul,
Now I'll have to fabricate a moss covered bridge!
Utterly fantastic. If only we could get moss to grow in such a dry region! Will have to settle for moss envy... Very very lovely.
Thank you Andrea,
Of course, in the same way, I'm envious of what you can grow in your region.
