Small doubled and rounded green leaves,
Straw-colored stalks, in red or brown,
Spots curved on a horseshoe shaped stem,
In midsummer, ripened spots cluster.
The stem slightly bent with a curve to my feel,
An emblem of fascination to all nature lovers alike,
With such profoundness, a symbol of sincerity to others,
This plant is a delight to have in your garden.

Very nice poem Kristen – ferns are really beautiful, such wonderful frondy leaves. Keep writing – Gloria
A lovely description Kristen. It sounds like your plants are well appreciated, and cared for.
