I saw this episode of Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't and decided I was going to make a terrarium with various plants from this region of Colorado. Maybe do collections in different ecosystems and have like six little slices of forests. In this one I'm collecting random bryophytes from below the tundra altitudes. Now the transplant shock has stopped and they are beginning to grow out. There is also basil and a peperomia I have to raise for a horticulture class.

    I might be wrong since I haven't ID'd them, but:

    Pic 1: Green moss with grey liverwort or maybe lichen poking through it

    Pic 2: Hornwort or maybe moss with a conifer sapling or maybe this ground plant I saw that looks like small conifers.

    Pic 3: Lichen

    Pic 4: Moss or a hornwort
