The Ferns of Spring
I love the variety of colors found in blooming flowers and shrubs. But the ferns of spring look marvelous in green and their unfurling fronds rival any flower.
I found them everywhere this week in local gardens and woods where they thrive in the temperate climate of the Pacific Northwest.
I’m glad they do.

Beautiful! I love ferns!
Thank you! Me too! ☺
They thrive here too. (I must check out how similar – or not – your climate is to ours. We are rather wetter and cooler than much of the UK.) And I love the unfurling. Beautiful photos – that diaphanous green light!
Thank you! 🙂 I always heard our Seattle weather was similar to London’s, though we may be a bit warmer and also get more rain. Not sure how we compare to other places in the UK.
Nice shots of the curling ferns, and a lovely close-up at the end.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete. They’re so pretty right now with fresh green fronds and holding their own next to the more flashy colors of spring. ☺
Thanks for sharing 🙂 I haven’t seen any ferns for ages and you are right. They are magical in the spring.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Sometimes we take what’s plentiful to us for granted! 🙂
Marvelous photos of ferns! Ferns are some of my favorite plants!
Thank you so much!! Me too! 🙂
Oh my word, I love ferns! Here in Fresno it can be hard to keep them alive. They have to be kind of in the shade and even then I think you would have to give them lots of water. Since my Boston fern is fake, I don’t have to worry about that though 😋
I love ferns too! We have a maritime climate here so the ferns are everywhere and happy. I can see that Fresno wouldn’t work for them.. too hot and dry! But I bet you do better with roses than I do with all that sun!
