Patches of snow still exist in the forest, but even with frozen ground underneath, these moss sporophytes are growing and pushing skyward while the light levels are good before the deciduous trees leaf out. Their colour is not very noticeable at first because these plants are so small but on examination their brilliance amongst mostly drab brown overwinter colours is appreciated. Grizzly
