each year is different

ferns are highly sensitive. as a result, variations in the warm day/cool-night tug of war that happens each autumn, means my ferns react differently every single year. i never know how the dying-back will go. an early frost means they might go straight from green to brown and curl up over night. extended mild temp means we will delight in golden yellow fronds being lit from within by the low-angle light.  every year different. every year a delight.
