Lycopodium carinatum

This club moss has very soft, evergreen foliage.

It's beautiful. But I don't know which is the moss honored. Is it the green stuff on the frame or is the lovely hanging plant?

Thanks..

It is the hanging green moss. It looks picky but it very soft to the touch. I wish my house had the right humidity all the time I'd give this one a try.

Thanks for answering.

Actually, I wouldn't mind having either one. The fuzzies on the frame looks like the stuff the chinese are putting on all the pots with the silk orchids. Yes? I sure would like it growing on my real orchids. Do you know what that is?

No but I'll be going back next week and I'll see if I can get the botanical name for you. Actually here were I live similar moss grows everywhere. Look at the area after a rain.

Wow, this is one of those out of the ordinary plants that caught my attention. You mean those lengthy hanging shoots is the club moss plant? I was confused too as it looks like mossy stuff growing on the planter. The tails put me in mind of rat tail cactus. I'm going to remember the name of this plant and see about getting one. I like that it looks exotic and unusual.

Your weather is probably humid enough to make it work. Let me know if you have success. Good Luck!
