...the secret life of ferns



I have always adored ferns...

of every kind and description...

the textural interplay of delicate fronds...
with woody stems...

deceptive strength, beautiful in construct...

the variegation in depths of green within one plant...

ruffled by the breeze...
illuminated by the sunlight...
dissolving into...and out of shadows...

the deep, damp aroma of life & earth...

I would fill my rooms with them...
if the felines didn't consider them...
a multiple use item...
[salad bar, entertainment...
& restroom facilities...
when dumped over on to the floor...]

so mine remain outside...

where they are safe from bored kitties...

and where they can flourish...

these pictures are especially for my friend...
and fellow "shrubbery enthusiast"...
Mr Greenthumb...[Mrs GT, too...]

enjoy...
