The ostrich fern's fertile fronds from last season provide winter interest in the garden. For some reason my cat loves to chew on these, that is when he dares to go out in the snow.

There’s one frond that looks like it is taking wing and flying away 🙂
ha ha… I always find it so interesting that these fronds can tolerate a whole winter of snow and still look good.
Lovely silhouettes.
thanks. They are really strong and provide some winter interest.
The design that comes out is really cool.
thank you Jennifer!
I love this picture. Could be on a wall in large size, would attract attention for sure.
thank you Francis 🙂
Beautiful and dramatic composition.
thanks – I love ferns.
