For Saint Patrick's day, and #mosstodon Monday, some greenery on the rocks from Beacon Rock, and more greenery on Wind Mountain. I recently read Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass, which was really interesting. I had no idea that moss reproduced with sperm, one of the first organisms on earth to do so! Also had no idea how dependent on very specific local conditions each moss is.
