Piedmont Natives: Christmas fern
Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) I recently crossed paths with this lovely Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) in a marshy forest glade.
As the dappled morning light danced across the leaves, I thanked the spirits of the earth for their continued support and provision.
May we be ever mindful of their grace and sacrifice.
