Nice!
I have not made that observation myself yet, but I have not considered it before 😅 I'll keep my eye out for it in the future!

If you meant bottom right, then yes!
Because of the perfectly rounded head with close to perfect symmetrical rings of branches forming smaller, rounded, concentric forms inwards towards the terminal bud.

Sphagnum fallax and flexuosum side by side, do you see which is which? #moss #bryophyte

One of the best things about Autumn is the gorgeous colours 😍 This is the time of year where #sphagnum mosses become more vibrant and really stand out amongst other #peatland vegetation 💚 Cotton grass turns autumnal red and cladonia lichen (aka reindeer moss 🦌) adds a splash of white 😁
