Don't eat me,... Mr. Flytrap
I have what I 'think' are 3 mosses growing in the same pot of Cephs. The Ceph came packed in live sphag, and I used it as a top dressing. It's been about 10 weeks since it was potted up. Area #1 I'm thinking is Sphagnum, but area #2 and #3, well I have no idea. Maybe they are differant, of maybe not. Can someone help shed some light on what this 'ground cover' is?
Thanks.

The entire area with areas 1, 2, and 3 marked.

No area 51?

Area #1 is Sphagnum mixed with something else. The reddish bit just above and to the left of the area is definitely Sphagnum

Area #2 might be Dicranoweisia crispula.

Area #3 is either Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus or Bryum caespiticium - note: this is the stuff the sprouts in my Chilean LFS.

Photos of the spore capsules would help to identify the species.
