I found this beautiful plant growing wild in a local ravine; unfortunately it was out of reach so I couldn't pull the garlic mustard growing through it.

Osmunda regalis
Osmunda regalis, known in English as "royal fern" or "flowering fern" and in French as osmonde royale, fougère royale or fougère fleurie, is a beautiful fern native to the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. (The name "flowering fern" refers to the appearance of the fertile fronds, not actual flowers.)

Royal fern is very regal, and I wish I could grow it.
ReplyDeleteGrrrrr, garlic mustard!
By the way, Sarah recently found me a couple of Herb Robert, now safely tucked into appropriate corners of the garden. Hope he stays.
