Ferns

I dug up, I don't know, 25 ferns this morning and transplanted them to another space in the garden. They were being "wasted" under mock orange and spirea where I couldn't see them or enjoy them. Ferns, especially up close, are beautiful and easily overlooked. Most people are interested in plants that bloom or have a fragrance. Two interesting tidbits about ferns: the earliest fern fossils date back 370 million years ago; and there are between 10,000-12,000 types of ferns in the world.
