Selaginella? One of my favorites in S. uncinata, Peacock Moss or Rainbow
Fern. Several species, difficult to find, but most are small, spreading
jobs, ferny or mossy in appearance.

As I was working out on my balcony today I thought of the perfect plant to
put in the pot with my witch hazel. I just can't remember what it's
called.
I had it growing in Seattle between the broken concrete pavers of my
patio.
It looks like a tiny delicate Boston fern (sort of), spreads by runners,
stays very small and flat, it's a great ground cover, very hardy and tough
as nails. Anybody know what it's called so I can go find some. The first
time I saw this was in the Japanese garden in Portland, I got the name
from
the gardener there. Now I can not for the life of me remember what it was.
Getting old is hell :-(
