Mosses are plants which date back to an era before flowers were evolved. The swellings at the end of these stalks growing from a patch of moss will develop the spores which are spread for the next generation of the plant. This particular clump of moss was growing conveniently a little below eye level on the top of a stone wall on the Compton Road.
