Three hours of gardening - for today it's enough! This is Polypodium vulgare, a happy fern from my pteridophytes collection.

@Michael: Gibt bald wieder mehr. Einen Baumfarn mußte ich aufgrund der besch#/&%! Fröste im März bis auf zwei Wedel zurückschneiden, der andere ist allerdings noch gewachsen und sieht toll aus :-)

@MaryB: Will be continued soon, last weekend I freed the last of my plants from their winter protection. :-)

Look so fresh with the wet leaves. Nice color and great capture.

@Ina: Thanks, Ina! This is a robust one who easily survived winter without losing many of its fronds.

I've got a plant coming up I shot in a cemetery. Never seen anything like it before. Perhaps you, or someone else here at Animus, will be able to identify it.

@Twelvebit: Just post a pic... Maybe it's something dangerous. :-)
