A to Z Herbarium: Fern

I wonder how many people have sat around on Midsummer’s Eve waiting to see invidible flowers and seeds? 🙂

Best of all though, it looks beautiful! Thank you for giving us more of your really interesting facts – and fictions.

I love ferns, they are so pretty… Also, fern flower stories are very entertaining 🙂 We have some of those too in Hungary.

I have always loved the look a ferns, I think that they are beautiful. That was the extent of my knowledge though. I really enjoyed your post because I learned some interesting facts. Nicely written. Thanks you for sharing.

Ah, if only my ferns will stop dying on me, then I can become invisible too… Happy A-to-Z-ing.

Boston ferns are excellent air cleaners. After Hurricane Katrina, folks in New Orleans got a cough from exposure to formaldehyde in temporary trailers. They were advised to place 10 Boston ferns in the trailer to clear the air — New Orleans having the perfect temperature and humidity for these helpful plants.

Had no idea that ferns were so beneficial. Thank you for sharing how the plant can help people who have a variety of health issues.

It’s amazing the folklore that grows around plants to explain them. Invisibility sounds like a useful trick for humans, but not so much for flowers 🙂

Hi Sara – loved this info on ferns … I’ve always loved them – they grace the hedgerows and copses in the south west – particularly Cornwall … warm and damp … and they are beautiful … interesting facts … cheers Hilary

Ferns are amazing my great grandmother,s was on this cool Victorian pedestal. I remember it lasting for years before it died. We still have a cactus that is as old as my brothers and I.

I like ferns, they are pretty. This is interesting information.

I love ferns, it makes me so sad that I appear to be unable to keep one. But I wont’ desist, especially after discovering all the many properties it has 😉

I’ve hiked through forests where the ground was covered in ferns (I can remember misty mornings with such hikes along the Appalachian Trail). They were magical. I didn’t realize that because you can’t see the seeds that people thought they had magical powers.

Unfurling ferns have always seem magical to me – but imagining “invisible” seeds just puts them over the top for me. I’d be one of those watching at midnight on Midsummer’s Eve, and hoping for invisibility myself.
