Cool. By the way, I offered an ID on a spotting of yours posted on Sept. 2. That shrub-tree with the palmately compound leaves, green fruit and "tulip-style" flowers ... very interesting plant. Didn't know if you'd seen the suggestion. Ta!

Thanks Suzanne! I think it is Juniper moss based on other google photos :)
