Is Orchid moss sphagnum?

A couple of days back I went down to my local hardware store to see if they had any sphagnum moss that I could use as a medium dressing for my plants. They said that they didn't so I tried to see if they had alternatives. I found this moss that was used particularly for orchids and it looked distinctly similar to sphagnum...same coloration, similar texture. The package it was in also said that it was imported directly from New Zealand so I just assumed it to be sphagnum.

Just curious...do any of you CP growers out there use "Orchid moss" or at least know that it is sphagnum.

All comments are appreciated : )
