While These May Look Like Regular Moss-covered Rocks To You, They’re Not - They’re Actually A Species

While these may look like regular moss-covered rocks to you, they’re not - they’re actually a species of flowering plant called Azorella yareta, also known as Yareta. In order to survive the cold, windy, high-altitude conditions of the Andes, they live in tightly-packed colonies so dense that they are capable of supporting the weight of an adult human. They can also live to be thousands of years old - in fact, one of the oldest known plants on Earth is a 3,000-year-old Yareta plant. 

Because it is so dry and dense, it was traditionally used as a source of kindling, similar to peat moss. As a result of this, and the fact that it grows so slowly, Yareta is now a protected species in order to prevent its extinction in South America.

“It’s hard to explain the things you may have suffered this past year. No one will understand how hard some of the things were that you went through, because no one was there with you day and night. Only you know what it cost you to make it throught this year. It may not have been a successful year, but fuck success, because that’s a standard the world goes by. You’re not measured by success, but by your will to hang on and continue no matter what.”

— Sereno Sky, the “Lonely Traveller” novels
