_I never thought of Moss "blooms," but moments ago I saw the photos at Hitsujiama Park... the Moss Phlox. Grand.
_I like your presentation of the sparrows listening to the "bragging!"
Tnx, Sakuo San.

Gillena san,
I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed Google images.
I am afraid that the Moss in Japan is not understanable.

Magyar san, thank you very much.
Your love for Moss comes to me directly.
In some meaning, the Moss is the essence of the gardening of Japan.
