#ferns (Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta) are a group of vascular plants (land plants with vascular tissues such as xylem and phloem) that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from non-vascular plants

Looking up from the hiking trail at the forest canopy. Sword ferns are on either side of the path, and large roots are growing into the path. The photo shows an evergreen forest thick with tall trees.

Tis the season for croziers in the yarden! A variety of native ferns springing to life including: Borrer's, Narrow Buckler, Oak Fern, Hart's-tongue, Limestone Fern and Beech Fern. Love'em! #ferns 🌿

Close-up of a small green fern with smooth, shiny, tongue-shaped leaves called fronds; at its centre a new frond is unfurling. It is growing out of a crack or small hole in a tree trunk and there is also moss and lichen on the dark rough tree bark around the fern.
A small Hart's-tongue Fern, Asplenium scolopendrium, with some new growth unfurling has made its home in a tree trunk, surrounded by mosses and lichen; seen last week in #Cambridge

Lady ferns (Athyrium filix-femina) fiddle heads are unfurling next to a decaying trunk. The trunk is covered at the top with mossy patches. The ground underneath is covered with leaf duff and small plants, including creeping buttercup. Lady fern leaves have a feathery appearance when fully unfurled, and can be up to 5 feet high, although around here they seem to stay under 2 feet.
Spring green and beautiful decay

I love #ferns and this time of year lose my heart to them all over again 💚 I have several varieties from harts tongue fern (naturalised here and self seeding everywhere) to big handsome shield ferns - these little dinosaur tails are unfurling all over the garden at the moment #gardening 🌱
A fern's new growth seems to resemble a winged critter. Much of the stem and leaves are still a coiled spiral, but just below the coil two leaflets flare back as if wings.

A mossy pool in the mountains above Vancouver. The water is shallow so this is a seasonal (spring) pond. The rocks in the foreground are covered in moss. Further away, sapling deciduous trees, some evergreens, a large tree trunk, sword ferns.

A lumpy grey-brown tree covered in melon-sized lumps. It is happy with the shape it has, and needs no change.
A mossy tree covered in ferns wishes you well this Friday.
A lovely lumpy tree, a fine ferny friend. Always a treat to visit green things.

A macro, close-up shot of a fern frond tightly coiled into a spiral shape, known as a fiddlehead. The coil is covered in a dense, soft, rusty-brown fuzz that catches the light, giving it a velvety appearance. The stem is thick and textured with the same copper-coloured scales. In the soft-focus background, vibrant green, feathery fern leaves create a lush, natural contrast. The lighting is bright and natural, highlighting the intricate, geometric curves of the plant.

I am unsure about the species of this potted fern on our back patio, but I love the way it asexually produces this little ferns. Any ideas about the species of the fern?
