I'm guessing this is a moss of some kind. Does anyone have any ideas? It's
about an inch high, and has taken up residence in just one pot containing
a hydrangea cutting. Hardly a prize specimen but fascinating in its way

Any comments appreciated as I don't know where to start with this one

Almost certainly Tortula muralis, see
www.bbsfieldguide.org.uk/content/tortula-muralis a fairly common moss of
'man-made' environments
