that´s nearly all of it

the 65 - 85 plants in these pots are little ones mostly. I do love those tiny ones, some wild flowers I took from outside, and I really like moss, trying to cultivate it, - even easier than to cultivate lichen!! (which I never seem to have succeeded in), everything that makes it look "natural"....

I try to get wild plants by seed, since I love most of all the tiny ones. Anagallis arvensis and Linum catharticum (the tiny white ones) I hope, will come this year. The Moss: I don´t like those naked new pots or stones around beds. I like it, when time has done it´s thing on it. So I try to take thick moss-pieces (the best from roofs) and lay it between the Plants. Some have somehow spread. I tried it with lichen, too recently

I do not like the naked new pots and bed-limiting stones, only when time has done it´s thing on them. So I try to take thick moss-pieces (the best from roofs) and lay it around the plants. Sometimes it really renewed and after 2 years I had thick moss-cushions. Last year I took the very tiny plants Anagallis arvensis, a 10 cm-plant with red little flowers (it grew in the garden of my grandfather!) and the white, tiny Linum catharticum from Nature. Both annuals. I hope very much, they will come.

Wonderful place here Nelke. I have a moss that spread so readily around here. I let it take over some places, I like the look of it as well. I sure hope those natives you collected come through.

Mostly they do, Greenthumb, and some of them are exploding, because the normal garden earth contains fertilizer. So with: Campanula rotundifolia and the orangecoloured Hieratium . I had to take them out and give them to an outside-garden from a friend...
With the seeds of coursi, I still don´t know.

Very interesting, do you go plants from seed? Talking about moss my small front lawn has more moss growing on it than grass! I do agreee that moss does make everything look so much more natural and its very pretty too!
