News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

I honestly don’t know what qualifies scientifically as moss, but isn’t this the substance under discussion?

I think they are talking about Spanish Moss - which isn't really a moss. And it is grey and hanging down from branches. But would certainly be prolific in a bayou.

I think the problem is that it’s too dark, saturated, and solid in colour. A lighter green would have looked better in my opinion.

Critter Co-op moss:

Actual Louisiana moss (or what I’m calling moss in layman’s terms):

This is the first time I've seen that top photo and it's... not good. It looks like they just took a can of dark green spray paint and did some random spraying.

It's obviously a very minor aspect, but still, I wish they'd get that stuff right.

I think we must all be talking at cross purposes then, because I’m pretty sure @Ayla was referring to the dark green substance clinging to the rockwork of Critter Co-op (as shown in my post just above).

IMO, it's the sharp contrast against the "red" clay that makes it look less natural.

If it's supposed to be actual moss (which I don't know), I'm actually staring at tree right now, as one does, and the color does match. Although the color does range from dark to bright green on this particular tree.

I'd have to see in person what it looks like to form a real opinion though.

I added a post addressing that issue, also.

It’s painted. The real stuff gets darker in the sunmer. This will get lighter. They’ll meet half way.

I realise it’s painted, and I’m sure it’ll get lighter. I still think it looks too solid and saturated in its current form.

 

[Tha Realest]

I dunno. I'm grasping at straws. So far, I've discussed moss, algae, and straw. What's next?

Oh dear. The posters who purport to be experts in film studies, socio-economic trends, corporate governance, public land use, securities law, and finance are about to take a deep dive into photosynthesis.

You're right. We're all jumping into Louisiana flora.

Yes, I was. To me, moss has much more texture and, for lack of a better word, is springy. I am not talking about Spanish moss.

Will it? Or will it just look like a darker shade of Forest Green?

Honestly, they don’t need to add Spanish Moss anyway. It’s everywhere in Florida, so it’ll just appear naturally.

Not sure if it will appear naturally on the fake trees.

 

[Earlie the Pearlie]

I’m learning so much about moss today!

Everything gets lighter with time in Florida.

 

[rtmachine]

the moss that hangs from trees is different from moss that grows on damp rocks and tree stumps

 

[John park hopper]

Especially your wallet at Bob's WDW

Sorry meant to say lighter* shade of Forest green. I feel like it will get lighter but they started out with the wrong color as opposed to going with a more saturated version of the correct color.

it somehow does.
