Nature Done Wright

   Edith Wallace, Nancy Bristow and Deedee Burnside did a fern survey at the Celery Farm last week.

They found the following seven species:

Athyrium filix-femina       lady fern
Onoclea sensibilis        sensitive fern
Osmunda cinnamomea    cinnamon fern
Osmunda regalis        royal fern
Pteridium aquilinum        bracken
Thelypteris noveboracensis    New York fern
Thelypteris palustris        marsh fern

   Note: The wildflower Web site I linked to here has no images for the marsh fern… Maybe someone could send one along or point out the plant to me to photograph?

Thanks, Edith, Deedee and Nancy!
