You have the family right. The genus is likely Polytrichum, or Pogonatum, or Timmia. or something similar, or endemic to your area. Beautiful shot!
thank you shawna.barker429! :)
but creeping phlox is north american plant. this is our wild moss. :))
If it blooms in a mat of pink purple or white it could be creeping phlox (phlox subulata)
