Here is an unassuming little fern in my garden. Asplenium trichomanes, maidenhair spleenwort. You wouldn't guess that it has one of the largest natural ranges of any vascular plant on the planet. It's found on six continents for sure and possibly now in Antarctica as well. It has very tiny spores that can easily get wind-blown high up into the atmosphere and right around the planet. It grows most anywhere but prefers rocky places with adequate moisture. #gardening
