A beautiful and thoughtful post to start the day. I think “poikilohydry” is a word I’ve been missing! Love this: “In times of drought, they desiccate but do not die. Like sponges, they shrink and harden, waiting for moisture. Once it materializes, they can rehydrate in a matter of hours.” Beautiful photos accompanying your post - and beautiful connecting of the moss to the world.
