Capillary Thread-moss (Bryum capillare, #564)

I found an elegant, new moss species in one of my plant pots - Capillary Thread-moss (Bryum capillare). This is quite distinctive, with its twisted leaves, red stem (setae) and drooping capsule. It’s a common and widespread moss in UK, but not one that I had found previously in the garden.
