I have a small bud just like this with my Xmas moss. But, too bad it withered. Would be interesting how your turns out.
Don't forget to put it back into the water...let it grow...
Just want to share with you guys about this, as well as hope your be able to clear my doubts! Discover this strange growth, a bud growing from moss. hmm......wondering will it flower?!?!

having two bud of this, do hope they flower! currently relocate them to higher positioned moss area!
Those are the reproductive "capsules" of emersed moss if I'm not wrong.
yeah squee is rite ... the moss had "sex" alright
... always look at the bright side of life

Well, learned something new today i guess.

but even if they flowers in the water, how will they really propagate naturally?
i mean like the spores of the moss flower, how will it disperse to other places in the tank?
Check on below chart for more info.

wow, itssg bro, that's really a piece of informative article!! Finally understand the mechanism behind the growth/birth of moss!
cheers!
I should be working not posting

what do you expect. you have moss trailing out your ears...

oic, interesting, thanks anyway for the chart, although i am still having problem understanding what is it talking about
i thought the bud only appear in emerse form kinda cutivation. never seen it ard when cutivating submerse form before.

guan,
If you can't understand it...try to ask your science teacher.
seed75,
There are few type of mosses able to grow with bud submersed.

Don't be afraid of my duck!
All mosses, including nonaquatic species, need water to reproduce, which is why you find mosses mainly in damp and shady habitats. It's actually very complicated, because you need to understand what constitutes the gametophyte (haploid) and sporophyte (diploid) stages of the life cycle, but in short, you start with a male moss (which produces sperm) and a female moss (which produces the eggs). The sperm needs water to be able to swim to the egg and fertilise it. A zygote results which divides and grows into a sporophyte on a stalk (or seta). The diploid sporophyte produces haploid spores that once mature, will be dispersed by wind or water to grow into new mosses.
eh... so the conclusion is mose bud did grow in submerse or not
"Ask the Lord your GOD for sign, whelther in deepest depth or highest height."
There will be seeds when submersed, but these seeds will not grow into new plants.
Mosses grow in water, so why worry?
yes yes... only very much keen to find out if mosses produce bud in submerse stage... thanksno hard feelings ya
"Ask the Lord your GOD for sign, whelther in deepest depth or highest height."
oic, but it will be good if we can crossbreed the moss, example xmas moss X spiky moss, and become another species.
then this will show the kind of flourish in aquatic plants in singapore and become a hub for breeding the most hybrids of moss!
