Flowering Mosses

These aren't the greatest of pics but were taken in the early morning. The moss flowers look as though they are exuding dewdrops!

Fascinating! It does indeed look like dew. Cheerful and colourful mosses too.

Is it some sort of sticky secretion, presumably to attract insects?

I don't think so as the rocks & all vegetation were wet with dew. The pictures were taken in the Grampians here in Victoria, Australia! Very colourful. In the 2nd pic lower left, you can see how damp it was under the plant! In the 3rd pic, unfortunately not in focus, but there is a chain of dewdrops on a line of cobweb just visible!
