does anyone know the difference between scotch moss and irish moss???

Answer 1

Sagina subulata and Sagina subulata ‘Aurea’—Irish moss and Scotch moss, respectively, with the former deep green and the latter, chartreuse—are not true mosses. They are perennial plants, grown primarily for their foliage. They have a soft, lush feel and appearance, and they will take light foot traffic when placed—as my Irish moss is now—between stepping-stones. They hail from northern Europe and are hardy to 30 degrees below zero. The British Natural History Museum lists S. subulata as native to Scotland where it is known in English as Heath Pearlwort and in Gaelic as Mungan Mòintich.

S. subulata was one of the first plants to be named—by Antoine-Laurent De Jussieu—in the modern system of plant nomenclature. Sagina in Latin means “fattening,” attesting to the fact that sheep prospered in fields where the plants flourished. I suspect that has more to do with favorable growing conditions for forage crops—marked by the presence of Sagina subulata—than it does with the nutritional value of Irish moss. Subulata tells us that the leaves are “awl-shaped”—that is, they are slender, cylindrical, and taper to a point. The small white flowers are borne singly, from mid-spring to early summer. A similar plant—Arenaria verna—has flowers in clusters but is otherwise nearly identical in appearance and is also known as “Irish moss.” There is yet another growing thing called “Irish moss,” but it is a red seaweed with the official moniker of Chrondrus crispus. That kind of Irish moss is the source of carrageenan, a natural jelling agent that is added to edible products from bottled salad dressing to toothpaste.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

The regulation of Moses grew to become into written by utilising Moses on parchment and located on the outdoors of the Ark of the Covenant. The regulation of Moses is the sacramental regulation of sacrifices and formality washings and such, and its placement confirmed that it grew to become into temporary or non everlasting and can be completed away with while the Lamb of God grew to become into scarified by utilising God because of the fact in a while there might now no longer be a choose for the loss of existence of an sacrificial equipment. The regulation of Jesus grew to become into the reiteration of his Fathers regulation, which God spoke to the Israelites and wrote together with his own finger on the Mt. Sinai, and steered them in a month before they have been given there and which they knew collectively as slaves in Egypt and which the Patriarchs saved and which Abraham additionally saved the ten Commandments of God and so did our first parents in Eden. you do not have self belief so? Then tell me this, merely how have been they waiting to sin? while sin is transgression of the regulation? And which regulation? The sacrificial regulation grew to become into no longer yet nicely-known to guy! So, the only regulation that would have been broken grew to become into the regulation of God ie. the ten Commandments! The regulation of Jesus is the regulation of God it particularly is the ten Commandments. Which grew to become into located on the in the Ark under the Mercy Seat! Thereby indicating its Permanence!
