MOSS-DAY MONDAY!

Laurel said that I should post about something green. I chose moss. Here is what I have learned so far: 

#1. There are 12,000 species of moss classified in the division bryophyta.

#2. At one time, the division bryophyta included liverworts and hornworts but now they have their own division. 

#3. There are six classes of moss within the division bryophyta:

-takakiopsida

-sphagnopsida

-andreaeopsida

-andreaeobryopsida

-polytrichopsida

-bryopsida

#4. In the 19th century moss-collecting became popular. This passing fad resulted in the creation of "mosseries" in many British and American gardens. 

#5. Mosses like shade.

I like moss. It is neat.
