The most beautiful part of spring for me is watching ferns emerge from the ground. Their form when they sprout is like a ballet dancer coming out of a crouch.
Ferns are incredibly ancient plants, far older than flowering plants. They reproduce by spores and runners, not by seeds, and they do not flower or make fruit.
I am now transplanting ferns from the woods and swamps and rills near our house into the yard. Most have transplanted well.
