In old times, maidenhair fern was exported to Europe as packaging and then used by herbalists to make cough medicine. It was also boiled with sugar to make syrup called 'capillaire' which has some emetic properties,lol

That’s a superb image Darryl. You have masterful control of depth of focus. If only I were half as good!

The beautiful light quality, the clarity, the informative description...it has to be...it is...Darryl! Simple, elegant, lovely shot as usual. So have you ever actually tried one of these remedies? Just curious.

How perfect to have the black contrasting with the pale, cool green of the fronds, what an inspired shot - well done!

Wow, this is mystical. The stream in the background ( is that a stream?) Your photography puts me in awe. I'm definitely a fan of your work. I was just checking out your gallery too. I so want to get into macro photography too.
