185/366: Moss Calyptra

185/366: Moss Calyptra
With a macro lens, the tiny things become clear, and suddenly a whole world opens up around you. Who would think that moss is interesting to look at, even fascinating? Have you ever seen a moss flower? No? That's because they don't HAVE flowers! Moss reproduce via spores, and what you see in this picture is a dried calyptra, which covers the growing sporophytes beneath. The reproductive process of moss is very primative and requires moisture and alternating generations to complete.
