However, the seeds it leaves behind have an incredible germination speed, and so, shortly after sunrise, a new, full-size plant grows in the exact same spot as before. This flower was discovered in 1871 by an explorer called Stanley Rourke, deep in the mountains of Peru. Unfortunately he was unable to bring a sample back, and none have since been discovered. Before his death, Rourke also discovered the Transparent Daffodil, the Glass Posy, and the African Chameleon Flower. Double Daisy White daisies usually grow on the bright, sunny sides of mountains.

Moss Rock, How do I get moss to grow between the stepping stones. I have flagstone. I have shaded it from about 60% of the sun, watered it regularly and added sulfur to the soil. I get a little moss and some lichen, but I want more moss. Jenn Dear Jenn, The secret is out, growing moss takes only watering. The key to establishing moss anywhere is to water. Look for pluerocarp mosses and transplant between the stones, then water until they fill in, that’s it! Pay attention to your sunlight conditions and look for mosses growing in the same exposure to better your success, collect different species and mix them to further ensure one species will like the conditions. A note about moss between close set stones, this tends to be an area where drying out occurs quickly, so watering techniques are most critical, so keep ‘em moist, but don’t drown!
