Fiddleheads

If you look closely at the picture of the two trilliums that I shot yesterday evening, you'll notice some fiddleheads growing to the left of them.  These are the furled fronds of young ferns.  How's that for alliteration? They're edible, and quite tasty as I recall, but it's been years since I've eaten any.

Here are a couple of additional shots for your visual consumption.  I'm told that these are Christmas ferns (Polystichum acrostichoides).

 With fronds like these, who needs anemones?
