Sensitive fern

Species: Sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis L)
Date: 6.21.15


             


Observation:

Alice spotted the ferns along the side of our driveway in the shade along the east side of the tree line.  The plant-of-the-day was to be a fern!

A Fact from Alice: 

Sensitive ferns got there name due to their sensitivity to frost.  The frond (fern "leaf") die shortly after the first frost.
