Moss

We saw this gorgeous bank of moss [I think it used to be a wall next to a stream] earlier on in the year in Scotland. I have moss growing in my lawn, a lot of it and I was thinking perhaps if I left it, it would spread and become like one of the prized Japanese moss gardens. Unfortunately it has wisps of grass sprouting and lots of weeds too so I don't think it will ever look gorgeous. The weeds are spreading quicker than the moss. It's very springy to walk on it when I cut it [the grassy bits] with the lawnmower.
