It is really weird looking isn't it, especially in close up. But lovely too @linfoster

@sieveheadsarah Does this look like it? (Sorry - was interrupted 😂)

sieveheadsarah
I'd say yes it does look like that. Does yours have spores?? Mine doesn't have any 🤔

awomanonabike
The leaves are all dead now so I'm not sure. If you scroll sideways there is a photo of it last winter... @sieveheadsarah

Brilliant capture!! Reminds me of watching nature documentaries as a kid, love seeing ferns unfurl
@waterlily Thanks Lily. I know exactly what you mean. Releasing my inner David Attenborough 😉
