3 mosses and a damask walk into a bar...

Well not exactly, but they keep me company when I have a glass of something stronger than the coffee. x)

Common Moss - I do agree with the description of the nursery that it is probably the best of the mosses. Very beautiful, both in the garden and in the pictures.

Quatre Saisons Blanc Mousseux - his first blooms balled for me, hopefully because of the very cold and somewhat damp spring.

William Lobb - quite vivid color and not too good picture, but since he is very tiny so far, I cut his bloomage as soon as it showed color, so he can focus on getting something looking like a cane.

Léda - painted damask, so far quite pinkish, so I am in slight doubt about the identity, but it is first year plant, so can be just shy in the new place. And it is pretty. :D

And two more pinks while we are at it:
Unknow rose from the local hardware store, I got it 2 years back and this year he finally did not ball in spring. Quite old fashioned looking as well, very mild fragrance though:

Madame Isaac Pereire - can rival any modern rose by size and vividness of the color.

Yeah I have a suspicion that mine might be pink Leda, but she just started to bloom, so I still hope for pink to wash off. :D
