In some European countries it is believed that ferns protect us from evil. For others it symbolizes rebirth. And I have no idea where I got it from, or it was some strange story I heard as a kid, but I had negative association with it. The opposite what others believe.
Don't ask; I don't remember.
But ferns are beautiful! I have one growing in a pot, and maybe one day I will shoot it. It has beautiful, delicate leaves.
The one here grows in the garden. I don't remember where it came from, but for many, many years it has always been in the same spot.
And every fall it turns into a brown pile of mess and completely disappears. In spring it slowly starts to emerge from the soil. The leaves uncoil growing longer and wider. The way they grow is pretty amazing actually and I always loved to see the curled up leaves before they grow.

Another folk story about a fern flower, and this one I heard since I was a kid too. The fern will bloom only one night a year, and one is supposed to go to the woods in the middle of the night and find it. I don't think many people do it, but it is supposed to be good for ya.
Except that ferns do not bloom, sucker! :D
So good luck finding one.
They produce tiny spores under the leaves, and when they drop to the soil, a new plant will grow. A bit like a seed, though it is not a seed.

I didn't know there's so much about fern :) very interesting. I would love to see it bloom, now I am getting so curious.
The picture details are so nice in black and white. 😊💚
when I was a little kid I was very amaze about the ferns . I love seeing them.
In our area, most fern leaves are often made into dishes such as stir-fry, the taste is very delicious, we take it at the top only, it is true that the fern leaves are very soft.
My friend's perfect shot 😍😊
I have also heard some stories about ferns and it has become a hereditary story in my area,But I don't know whether it's true or not.
However, young fern leaves are often processed into delicious dishes in my area, especially stir-fries.
Very beautiful photography my brother, have a nice day
I love a good fern. I saw yellow/golden ones here in the autumn and I hadn't seen that before. Incredibly beautiful and stood out with all the green around it.
For some reason ferns and big pines remind me of The X-Files. :^)

We call it Pakis leaves. In my place it is also eaten as a vegetable.
