52 Weeks of Urban Nature Week 19: Unfurling Edition

(c) Megan Draheim, 2016

Yes, these are fiddleheads. And yes, my ferns have unfurled themselves into all of their glory already! Needless to say, I have been not so good at posting these in a timely fashion. But I’m determined to get caught up in the next couple of weeks. And I have been faithfully taking a photo a week!

I love ferns — always have. There’s something so beautiful and graceful about them, and at the same time, so, well, prehistoric. We only have a couple, but they’re some of my favorite plants in our yard. And every year I’m fascinated by the way they grow.
