Moss Art

I was at the Gloucester and Cheltenham Mercedes dealership, having taken a Merc that needed a replacement radio unlocking and relocking to the chassis number of the Merc it was to go into, when I spotted this on the wall in the showroom waiting area.

It's an indoor moss garden. I had a closer look. It looked and felt alive.

I enquired of the staff whether it got watered, but no-one seemed to know. Had a closer look at a couple of damaged areas and noted that the moss was stuck to some kind of resin substrate.

Looked it up when I got home and it transpires than the mosses are dried before being put on a resin base, but in such a manner that they retain their live look.
