NATURES BEAUTY MOSS



HELPING HANDS COVERED IN MOSS 
This photo is truly worth a 1,000 words.


  Photo repined from http://bohemianpages.blogspot.com


Can you believe this Moss covered structure?
Who lives here?

I would love to know
more about these two photos.  This does look like a staged photo.

I would like to believe it comes from a forest far far away.

In fact I can imagine that these steps are the only way
to get to this magical place. A place so
beautiful that it can't be conceived by the 
human eye, it lies only in our dreams.

 I have been busy in Pinterest this weekend building boards.

It is truly unbelievable what is available. Beauty like I have never imaged. 


That brings me to Moss, one of my favorite topics.
I love moss and over the years have had some success but more
failed attempts.  I have even purchased flats at a costly amount only to have
what grows naturally in nature die.  
No More!

I was visiting Gardens Inspired web site,
gardensinspired.blogspot.com/2012/01/moss-recipes-how-to-grow-moss
the very knowledgeable Debra Anchor
featured this wonderful article on the subject of Moss.  Drop by Debra's
site it is wonderful and filled with receipe's
for growing our own moss.

Have you ever tried to grow your own?

  1. Kathy, I love moss, so I really love this post! I cannot imagine a house cored in moss....very cool! I have tried to age pots by getting moss to grow on them using the buttermilk recipe, and it worked! The second recipe is new to me!

  2. Those photos are amazing. I especially love the path that leads into the forest of moss covered stones. We had places similar to that in the mountains of PA...not quite that heavily mossed but close.

    Blessings to you- I will pop by the blog you mentioned. xo Diana

  3. Oh my goodness...the photographs are absolutely magical! There are faeries lurking nearby surely!
    I do love, love, LOVE moss. We are fortunate to have several varieties in our tiny woodland. The sensation of cool moss on bare feet is rather like walking within a fairytale. Truth be told, I would much rather have a mossy lawn than a grassy one...shhhhh, that shall be our secret.
    Wishing you a splendid day Kathy!
    Most warmly,
    Judy

  10. I am amazed at the beauty of those moss art pieces. They really look like something from another world. I agree that mosses are beautiful, but here they just grow freely during the rainy season. Maybe that is why it is not thought of as an art piece in the gardens.

  17. I love moss, and it's a good thing I do because if anything is left outside it is quickly moss covered. In the woods near our house there is a truck and a car completely moss-enveloped. Eerie!

  20. Such beautiful photos! Have you heard of "moss graffiti"?? You can paint a moss solution in any pattern you want on an outside surface and grow your own moss art.. super cool!! I love your blog, and I'm so happy I found it today. Will be following you for sure!
