Sensitive Fern (Onoclea sensibilis)
I knew we had thousands of sensitive ferns in the woods but had never identified their fiddleheads until this spring. I'll be sure to get photos of the mature plant. If it weren't for the black flies (which are especially bad this year), I'd be out there now getting photos of them growing. I'm able to identify five ferns now: sensitive, interrupted, Christmas, ostrich and cinnamon! I'm proud!
