The sphagnum moss is loving this wet weather 💦💚 Small pools of water have been trapped behind coir logs, creating the perfect conditions for aquatic species. Hummock-forming species, such as sphagnum papillosum, are poking through the coir netting, which provides shelter from extremes of weather ☀️🌧❄️
