Fern forest dreamscape
Walking through a forest, I came upon an area covered with these ferns and the magical feel and beauty really captured my eye.
I learned that Dryopteris intermedia is a common species within its range of eastern North America, nevertheless I thought the scene I had encountered right then was very special and I tried to convey the atmosphere in this shot I took. I fancy it would have made a good resting place. Soft, welcoming and peaceful.
Fronds grow to around 90 cm in length and 20 cm wide. Frond leaflets are lobed and toothed. Sori (fruit dots, as seen here) appear on the leaflet undersides on fertile fronds in early to mid-summer.
