Bonfire-moss (Funaria hygrometrica)
I have a small plant pot by my water butt which has some liverwort growing in it last time I looked. This time I looked it had something else growing in it, this rather untidy looking yet delightful moss. Note the long, swan-neck seta.

I think I have the same thing growing in one of my pots. I took a macro of them and posted it last year on our NWG blog. I took it with my iPhone using an Olloclip macro lens. Very interesting tiny plants. Great pics! What did you take these with?

Thank you very much, Judy 🙂 I took them with a Nikon D7200 with a 105mm Sigma macro lens on manual, hand held.

They really do look like tiny dancing, long-necked green birds! But you’d never know it without macro!

No, you sure wouldn’t. You are looking at the world at an entirely different level when close-up, and you see so much more 🙂
