Cummacatta Wood, just north of the Bowder Stone, has a wet flush with the gloriously red Sphagnum capillifolium (rare in Sussex) plus gone-over Bog Asphodel. It also has Juniper as well as Yew. First Juniper I've seen in Borrowdale; saw lots around Arnside on Limestone

The difference between habitat in the south (where I live) & the north is fascinating. Sphagnum palustre in Sussex is found in bogs & wet flushes with a supply of water from springs or streams. In Borrowdale, it is also at the top of this rocky mound; in the south, it doesn't rain enough for that.

Colours of the bog part 1: the rhubarb and custard perfection of various Sphagnum mosses, offset by pale green strands of lichen
They may be on a much smaller scale scale than autumnal deciduous trees, but the colours are as stunning

Was looking at some stuff about Sphagnum expert Kjell Ivar Flatberg and saw something extraordinary. The patterns on his hat looked…familiar, they’re Sphagnum leaf cells!

I just put this here because it’s fun to say.
Almost sounds rude but it’s not.

Was very pleased to have Sphagnum skyense confirmed growing above Líonán in Conamara. A first for me and na Mám toirce.
Bhí mé an-sásta Sphagnum skyense a aimsiú sna Mám Toirce ar cnoic Líonán ag fás ag thart ar 400m. Buíochas go Rory Hodd don comhairle.

Look at these little pompoms of #sphagnum moss 😍
As well as being great for peatlands, sphagnum mosses were historically used for wound dressings due to their absorbent, anti-bacterial properties 💦

Haven't got under the microscope yet but I suspect this is Sphagnum pulchrum I have come across in a very good bog today north of the N59 in Conamara...
