Is this a moss / lichen / ???
Comments (8)Sorry folks but the plant you have is a moss. It looks like a species of Tortula but there are also other genera of moss that are similar in appearance. Check out this link to an image of what I am seeing this as possibly similar to. Fern prothallia and young sporophytes look much different. Check out the link below for more info on those.

Comments (9)A few weeks ago we transplanted a lime tree that had been growing in the ground for about 5 years. We were advised to plant it into a whiskey barrel planter. We followed all the directions of a professional but the tree looks dead and did so the day after transplanting it. I am very concerned because we were not told to prune the tree first and to not worry about how many roots we had to cut. We were told that the tree could lose 70% of its roots. We were also told to water the tree on a slow drip for 48 hours prior to transplanting. I have since read that the ground should have been dried 2-3 days prior and that we should not have cut the roots. I guess we basically did everything wrong! What do you think the chances are for this poor tree? Did we fail miserably? Were these completely wrong instructions? We moved and wanted to take the tree with us....See MoreIs it possible to transplant a LARGE Sago Palm ?

I cut all the fronds off and cleaned them up, removing old dead stuff on the trunk....See MorePossible Transplant News
