I had no idea I had captured parts with both one and two sets of chromosomes in one photo :) Actually that’s quite interesting.

Love the moss photos. Moss is weird. It is less evolved than most plants; it doesn't have roots or a vascular system. Also, the green fuzzy part of moss that we are used to seeing is the "gametophyte" - a phase of plant life that only has one set of chromosomes. In contrast, most other life forms (humans, flowering plants, etc) are carrying around two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. The tiny wispy wand things that are coming up on the left side of the photo are the sporophytes, which is another (shorter) phase of moss plant life. The sporophyte contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, and it releases spores that will grow into the next generation of gametophytes. Summary of all that is here.. http://www2.auckland.ac.nz/info/schools/nzplants/moss_sporophyte.htm (more than you ever wanted to know about moss?) I'm trying to figure out what the bulbed purple thing is, growing on the right side of that photo. I think it might be a different type of moss or liverwort. It sure is fascinating looking! :) Cool photos! Love the moss photos. Moss is weird. It is less evolved than most plants; it doesn’t have roots or a vascular system.
