@Michael Skorulski: Yes, they are amazing :-)

@Observing: Thanks, Mike! They were indeed head-high, quote an amazing sight!

@Ina: It was raining shortly before I was there, ideal fern weather :)

@MaryB: It was warm and rainy - ideal weather conditions! This botanical garden has a broad range of pteridophytes, just how I like it! :-)

@Sri: I've read some books about plants but I'm just an amateur. Actually I'm computer scientist :-)
This photo has been shot at botanical garden, Cologne.

@Ana Lúcia: Green is the colour of my revolution! ;-)

@dillonpic: Thank you, glad you like it!

@Twelvebit: Fergie? This one? Or this? You'd better watch out! :-D

@akarui: As Abraham Stansfield once said: "The bright colours of flowers are admired by the least intellectual but the beauty of form and texture of ferns requires a higher degree of mental perception and a more cultivated intellect for its proper appreciation. Hence we regard the growing taste for the cultivation of ferns as proof of mental advancement."

@Japanalia: I strongly disagree! :-)

@Twelvebit: You mean in your aristocratic period, right?
