any hardcore botanists able to id unknown plant?
I have this very small but interesting plant growing in amongst the moss which covers the soil and stones in a big pot containing a lime tree(Tilia tomentosa). Its been there a few years and grows about 2 sets of leaves a year. It is green in the summer and fades the red brown colours you can see here but turns green again when warmer. It is tiny as you can see from the scale of the sphagnum moss around it, to give you an idea its about 2.5cm tall.

Maybe a Lycopodium of some sort? If it was bigger or made reproductive structures it would be easier to ID. If it makes actual flowers then it definitely isn't Lycopodium.
By the way that is not Sphagnum moss. Sphagnum is bigger, fluffier, and the sporangia are different (and rarely produced). I think what you have is Pohlia nutans.

Yes I think you are right lycopodium annotinum looks a good match.
Cheers.
