I love ferns. I don't know why. Primitive plants have a charm that I find compulsive. Maybe it harps back to my childhood love of the age of the dinosaurs. Ferns and horsetails were all the rage back then (dino times, not my childhood). LOL.
At Kew Gardens, in the Australian garden, I came across this wonderful tree fern. I loved it. So I took a photo. Simple. Fun!

i love ferns, too. so graceful. i interviewed a professor at lyndon state collage, david conant, who has done break through dna mapping with ferns; this was back in 1995 and he said it was vital because we were misunderstanding how vegetation grew and spread across the planet and was inter-related. i have read that dna mapping is now being used to track marijuana in an effort to discover where it originates from. this is an interesting concept at a time when, in the united states, it is being legalized medically by many states, but not federally, and this is a federal movement. catch 22.
