Interrupted Fern fiddleheads (Osmunda claytonia)-5.jpg

Unusual for its sterile, three-foot tall fronds that have brown spore cases in the middle with green pinnae both above and below. Interrupted fern performs best in a shady site with moist soil, but it does better in higher light and drier soil than most ferns. Source: www.uvm.edu/pss/ppp/articles/natfern.htm
