Mossy Antennaria

It was quite the sight that greeted me when I noticed a few little plants of Small-leaved Pussytoes (Antennaria parvifolia) growing in amongst this matt of moss at the base of a white spruce tree. Usually, these little plants like to grow in drier areas than where moss usually likes to inhabit, however, I’m also reminded by this picture that Nature is always full of unexpected surprises.
