as i arrived at work this morning, i was struck by the way the sun lit this moss and couldn't resist capturing it... unfortunately, i only had my phone along. oh well.

Moss with sporophytes, possibly a Tortula sp.

flo·ra /ˈflôrə/

Noun:

The plants of a particular region, habitat, or geological period: "the desert flora give way to oak woodlands".
A treatise on or list of such plant life.

In my second attempt at a 365 project, I hope to grow even more with my camera (and new lenses!) by capturing native and cultivated plant life throughout the year in the Central VA region.

I am including fungi and other microflora in this project as well, just to keep things interesting. I will also try to include identification and links to more information as much as possible.
