I finally found a #fiddlehead for this #FernFriday episode of #Farnsehen.

I'd also like to share a word of gratitude for this platform (as imperfect as it may be) and for the PixelFriends and FediFriends I've made here. My eyes are open wider to the world around me these days. I mean, who knew I'd be actively scouring the ground looking for unfurling #ferns and loving it?!

So thanks for all the inspiration!

My contribution to #Farnsehen this week is a #fiddlehead too. I think it's an autumn fern, or Japanese shield fern, whose #fiddleheads emerge in a stunning copper colour. It starred in a garden centre, as I'm not in #fern country. ๐Ÿ˜…

This week's episode of #Farnsehen features the first glimpse of my new co-star, #DryopterisAtrata.
I spotted it in a (different) garden centre this week, and though I'd only popped in for Easter gift cards, I couldn't resist bringing this little rascal home. Insta meet-cute, if you will. The label called it a #shaggyShieldFern. Sadly, it's not native to Europe, but just look at that adorable furly-curly #fiddlehead! ๐Ÿฅน
In German, it's known as the "elephant trunk fern", so I've named mine Elliot. ๐Ÿ˜ Elliot looks a bit sad in their new home at the moment (probably because the nights are still rather chilly), but I'm sure they'll grow (๐Ÿคญ) to love it here. The spot should be just right.
I also messed around with the frame options in Snapseed. Not entirely sold on the result, but Elliot was cool with it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

The fresh growing ferns
formed a vivid mere of green
at the foot of pines
