The discussion re: Sphagnum is of great value. I only wonder if we all
think of the same species. My experience is that some grow better at my
home, others not.
Does anybody really know the species names? As far as I know,
identification of Sphagnum species is extremely difficult since most of
them do rarely produce r eproductive organs and sporophytes (yes, those
organs holding spore capsules...). Perhaps the best info for most of us
will be the geographical source of Sphagnum. We can then use local floras
and organize the info correctly.
