Matteuccia Struthiopteris

💚🖤💚

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 😉

...and this is what it looks like now #spooky #fern

That is spooky 👻

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

How amazing! 👌🏼 it looks like braided hair!

Or black leather gloved fingers...

Also known as #shuttlecockfern for obvious reasons

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

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

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