I'm sorry, but none of the links go anywhere on my system. Just for your info.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

...I bought a Selaginella species, but it was a fern... didn't know it was a bryophyte 
Great info... Bryophytes are very interesting (especially when they're on an orchid mount!  )

Selaginella is not a bryophyte. Bryophytes consist of mosses, hornworts and liverworts. Selaginella are of the family Selaginellaceae and are considered to be fern allies. This particular Selaginella is a very nice, very small species. It's not a fast grower but a great plant if you can find it.

Thanks Harry! Thought I was clear on that!??
Ross don't know what to tell you, using IE?
Mahon, thanks for the comments tho see Harry's for clarification on what Selaginella is. I wish I could offer names of the mosses but I do not want to kill any of them just to look at them under a microscope and even then it might not be possible if they are not NA natives! This is really my first journal regarding mosses and I shall be setting up the moss section on my site-hope to add a general sheet soon on what mosses I have growing (or hope they are still growing!!!!)
And Thanks Sue! I really do like MINIS!!!!

So sort of related, I love Selaginella. I'm always looking for species I don;t have. One I used to have but no longer have is S oregana. Does anyone have access to this species?

Harry, I have only seen it offerred once at one of the terrarium suppliers sites (yours??)
Hey Tindo-there are alot of tropical types and some semi-tropical species of Selaginella that will do well in terraria/vivs. Just because it is called a Spike Moss doesn't make it a Bryophyte!!!
They are Lycopsida!!  Imagine Spike Lycops!  Weeeull that does not sound cool-so Spike Moss, almost like some Rap artist!!! Imagine: "Doing the Green" by Spike Moss!!!! |

Well, yes that was me and I was fortunate enough to get some from a rescue but have not been able to obtain it since. It seems to do well for a while then boom gone.
In case anyone gets any I would love to try again.
