Intermediate Screw-moss (Syntrichia intermedia)
My garage roof has steadily succumbed to a covering of this wonderful moss over the years, which makes it look a lot more interesting than just covered in tiny white shards of gravel. I decide to get the ladders out and have a close look-see, and amidst the open shoots which the recent rain has brought forth, are newer leaves ready to open up.

I have to come to your page to see the names of the moss I take photos of…I haven’t a glue. I just like how the look. Beautiful photos Pete!

Thank you, Ritva 🙂 Moss can be so beautiful and interesting in forms, colours and textures, and can be quite a challenge to identify at times.
