peak fern season

i talk a lot about my ferns. i feel like it was only yesterday i was posting photos of fiddleheads. and now, it’s already peak fern season. that ostrich fern frond, going diagonally across the image is over 4 feet tall. that makes most of the rest of those fronds the length of my arm. imagine the single minded determination it would take to grow seven or eight arms, umm fronds, in one month. makes me feel like a bit of a slacker. what did you do with your month of may?

six ferns: ostrich, sensitive, lady, maidenhair, interrupted, and cinnamon
