Mud and Moss


I think moss is so interesting! There are so many different types and if you look closely, it looks like a miniature forest. I especially like the "Sundews" which are not exactly moss, but very small carnivorous plants that capture tiny insects in their the dew that forms on their leaves.
I love mud as is shows all the animal activity in our forest....raccoon paw prints look so much like a human hand!

  1. I have seen Sundew plants growing in swamps and still lakes up around parry sound, but I didn't know they were native to the Barrie area.

    Can they be purchased as ornamental plants?
