Ohhhhh . . . lovely photo Eliza!
Thank you very much, Cindy!
Beautiful, Eliza! I love the way ferns unfurl. I need some ferns in my life…
Thank you, Julie. Yes to more ferns!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you!
My pleasure 👍
Nature’s curl, adorable🤗💕
Thank you, Stormie!
You’re welcome🤗
Play that fiddle! Love, love, love ferns. Hope you’re staying dry Eliza!
Thank you, Kathy! We’re finally having a partly cloudy day… I’ll take it!
I’m always amazed how those tiny fern curls turn into those lush, bushy plants!
An ancient miracle repeated annually for millions of years. Truly amazing!
Such promise is held in those tight curls unfurling in their own time.
Yes, indeed, thank you Anne.
So pretty! We saw many ferns, on our woodland & stream walk, on Monday, with daughter & grand-daughter & groups of Witchhazel trees to teach her about…fun name for a 4 1/2 year old!
Thank you, Alice. That is a great age, so fun!
An orchestra of fiddleheads. Lovely.
Thank you, Susan. A symphony for all to enjoy. 🙂
Fiddleheads! Yay! I love ferns and the way they unfurl. Beautiful image, Eliza. ❤
Thank you very much, Robin!
A beautiful sign of spring and Mother Nature at her best. 🙂
Thank you, Judy. I love fiddleheads!
Such grace!
They are certainly that – thanks, Kris!
One of the highlights of the year!
Truly! 🙂
Pretty, i love seeing the fronds gradually unfold.
Thank you, Karina. A beautiful sight heralding spring!
There’s something about this photo that makes me want to question what you’ve done.
ISO 640, 131 mm, f/5.6, 1/125 sec. Does that help??
Great depth and controlled energy. I love the way that they resemble creatures rather than that they are plants 🙂
Thank you, Carol. They do look animate, don’t they?
Strangely they do!
Lovely to see. Haven’t come across these here yet.
Thank you, Belinda. Should be any day now!
Have you ever eaten them?
This variety isn’t edible, but I have eaten Ostrich fern fiddleheads, which are edible. The window for harvest is only a few days before they unfurl, which I often miss. 😉 I think they taste somewhat nut-like. I often saute them with garlic, tamari or miso.
Lovely photo Eliza. I was also going to ask if you can eat this sort. We once tried our ostrich fern fiddleheads as a sauteed ‘salad’ and they were quite fine, but I know you shouldn’t eat too many of them. With garlic or miso sounds good!
I love ferns and when they are just shooting out they are gorgeous. Lovely image. (Suzanne)
Love the “golden spiral” and fractal geometry in ferns!
The curls of life! Beautiful ☘🍃🍃
Thank you, Karen!
MAGIC ELIZA, CHINA
Thank you, China!
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Thank you for reblogging!
OOOOO goodie! I missed these in my gardens, Eliza. It is so wet around the gardens that my ferns are in I couldn’t get near them. Beautiful picture!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, Amy!
You are welcome!
Gorgeous Eliza!
Thank you!
🙂
One of my favorites. Somehow, I just can’t get enough of unfurling ferns.
Same here, those compelling Fibonacci spirals!
Babies – cute, no matter what the species. 😀
😀 So true!
Lovely!
Thank you, Fi!
So beautiful! Spring is coming!
Yes, at last! Thank you, Maria. 🙂
🌸
I am very frond of those. (Sorry I couldn’t resist the pun).😃
😀
Ferns are to me one of the most evocative signs of early Spring!
They certainly are – thanks, Peter!
A lovely spring photo, Eliza, full of life ahead as well as ancient reminders of life behind. Ferns go so far back in time.
Thank you, Jet. They really are timeless.
Ah! the unravelling of Spring
Miraculous, yes?
Fresh – every Spring
