Random plant event: Spores!

Love is in the air, apparently. Or whatever the fern equivalent of love is.
Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Hare.'


Nephrolepis exaltata.


Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus,' newer spores.


Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus,' older spores.


Cyrtomium falcatum.


The very very beginnings of spores on Asplenium nidus. The whitish lines covering the middle half of the leaf will eventually turn brown and shed spores.

    Nice photos, they should be framed and hung.

    Have you ever tried sowing the spores?

    I think the underside of fern leaves are just fascinating - and they're wonderfully photogenic! Sweet.
