This is a photo of a wind-blown fiddlehead fern. Even with the flash on I couldn't quite freeze the motion, but I like the effect anyway. The name comes from the curled appearance of the top, which some people think looks like the scroll of a violin, which is sometimes called a fiddle.
It's not typical to see these so late in the season; they are normally a springtime plant. This one got a late start.

That's a cool plant.
ReplyDeleteIn Sarawak, we eat quite a few kinds of fern. In New Zealand, the Maoris too eat some of our ferns. Do you eat your fiddlesticks?

Thanks for visiting.
I eat fiddleheads but I'm the only one in my family who does. They are very cool plants, beautiful to look at as well as tasty when young :-)
