Not sure of the Taiwan and Singapore ones , may very well be the same , just a different name. Either way the one that I've seen looks the best is the one known as Taiwan moss. It's much more compact, grows in kind of an upward U shape. Looks it's best in large mounds where it can appear very full and dense but neat and well shaped. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
