Orbella's new Fragrant Moss is bioengineered to smell like patchouli (earthy and spicy), linalool (floral and fresh) or geraniol (rose-like and bug repelling). "Orbella Fragrant Moss is a line of home fragrances cultivated in a glass terrarium. Using nature’s simplest ingredients — sunlight, CO2, and water — Orbella delivers a safer, cleaner, greener alternative to chemical-based air fresheners. No solvents. No phthalates. No petroleum by-products. Just fragrance made the natural way." If you're seriously interested, you might also note that "Current purchases will be eligible for a free upgrade (moss only) to the new enhanced fragrance strength strain of the moss when it's available." $79 at Orbella, found at Geek.com.
I want all three, but I’m starting with the Patchouli!
I’m waiting for Frankincense or Iris moss
This is so cool, I really do want it! I’m rubbish with keeping plants alive but feel like I’d have a chance with moss to add some greenery and I can see these smelling subtly fresh and earthy.
I used to be great with plants but as I’ve gotten older I’ve lost that — too many other things going on!
I wondering what watering it will do to the fragrance, since moss needs a fair amount water to sporulate. Hooray for bryophytes!
Yeah, no idea!
Yup, I WANT THIS. More than any other daily lemming I can think of off the top of my head.
yes yes yes yes yes! one linalool, please.
Somehow seeing this today makes me feel better about humanity.
When the image first came up, it was tiny and I must have been hungry because the first thing I thought of was “What’s a matcha macaron doing in the daily lemming?’ Before I got to yumm, I saw the white container and thought “What’s a scallop shell doing in my matcha macaron?” Then I saw the rest of the container and thought “Why is there a big hole on the scallop shell?” So I decided to read the post and now I want one of these!
Holy cow these are cute. Bug repelling geraniol all the way!
