Matteuccia Struthiopteris

Thought I’d try another #aerialshot This time of a #matteuccia-struthiopteris 🌿

Impressive shot 👍🏼

Thanks Elaine. And I didn’t even need to get up a ladder for this one 😉😂 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Great shot 💚, happy to hear that no ladder was involved 😂

Good to hear...😉

I do love ferns

Another bobby-dazzler and no ladders

Well I don’t want you worrying Jane 😉 Thanks though! @pelly

This is a real toughy Neville, even though it looks delicate @njquantock

😂 Thanks Mark @solly1961

Looks like it’s drawing you in...

You’re right, I love ferns for the way they do this 🌿💚 @rachelbrooks

💚🖤💚

Brilliant capture!! Reminds me of watching nature documentaries as a kid, love seeing ferns unfurl

@waterlily Thanks Lily. I know exactly what you mean. Releasing my inner David Attenborough 😉

...and this is what it looks like now #spooky #fern

It is really weird looking isn't it, especially in close up. But lovely too @linfoster

How amazing! 👌🏼 it looks like braided hair!

Or black leather gloved fingers...

Also known as #shuttlecockfern for obvious reasons

@sieveheadsarah Does this look like it? (Sorry - was interrupted 😂)

I'd say yes it does look like that. Does yours have spores?? Mine doesn't have any 🤔

The leaves are all dead now so I'm not sure. If you scroll sideways there is a photo of it last winter... @sieveheadsarah
