Disco #fern for today's episode of #Farnsehen 🕺🪩

Last Saturday, we were invited to a birthday party. The venue? #GrusonGewächshäuser, Magdeburg's famous greenhouses! 🤩 Unfortunately, only three rooms were open to us, but they housed many fern species. 💚 Here's a #treeFern by the dancefloor.

Back from the dead: Tropical tree fern repurposes its dead leaves

Plant biologists report that a species of tree fern found only in Panama reanimates its own dead leaf fronds, converting them into root structures that feed the mother plant. The fern, Cyathea rojasiana, reconfigures these "zombie leaves," reversing the flow of water to draw nutrients back into the plant.
