The fronds of the fern begin to unfurl. The fern belongs to a group of about 12,000 species of plants. Ferns reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. Ferns first appear in the fossil record 360 million years ago, but most ferns did not appear until roughly 145 million years ago. Ferns natural habitat vary from mountain tops to dry desert rock faces, but are perfect in any cottage garden. The Scandinavians believe that ferns flower on one night of the year, and anyone who sees a fern flower is thought to be guaranteed to be happy and rich for the rest of their lives. We have to admit we have not seen one as yet. Let us know as and when you do, good luck.
While waiting for the fern to flower why not have a browse around Period Cottage Interiors, all you need to do is follow the Link
