Mosses



      

      
Mosses form a rich complement
      to rhododendrons with their spongy texture and minute detail.
      They invite you to get up close to examine and touch.

      
Here a Naomi blew paratially
      over and formed a mound as its roots reestablished themselves
      in the new configuration. The moss moved in where the mulch was
      uncovered, creating a striking base for a beautiful plant.


Mosses also
      like rocks, where they don't have to compete with weeds. The
      moss covered stones here are part of an alpine garden, surrounded
      by rhododendrons much like the shrubs around a morraine.
