This is a very interesting find and makes perfect sense. Further study might
reveal that not only do CP have general UV insignia but some CP might mimic
the SPECIFIC UV patterns of certain local flowers in order to fool
pollinators, this whole realm is a fascinating aspect of our hobby.

Greg, I've never bought or collected live sphagnum, all the live stuff I
have has been the result of dead long-fibered sphagnum, and even regular
peat, that sprouted live plants on its surface. I just harvest this top
layer, and place it in waterlogged pans, it grows pretty rampantly.
