Spring brings forth life's first stirring on the forest floor. Can someone tell me what this plant is? I think it's new fern growth, but I'm not sure.

Yup its a brand new fern. This is the stage when they are called FRONDS and they are edible only at this time..YUMMY in salad, or sauteed...best that way..this is a downright gorgeous photo! But then again, you dont do any less than that! Its just lovely..that design they make oh my..and then you captured it just right..wonderful shot Michael.

I wish Verena would come eat the ferns around my house! I sure as hell can't get rid of them. Great photo, Michael. Against the green background, these little fellows just leap out at me. I like this method you have of getting only he foreground in focus. I've seen it in several of your other works, and I like it. You must be using one of those lenses that can get down to F2.8. Ahhhh... One day...

I thought these might be fiddleheads, but I am not up on my botany...in any event, I agree with Regmar, these really stand out against that wonderful green...lovely job on this and cute title too...and Verena, if you come back, there is a feast waiting for you at Regmar's place, lol.:Pat.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then it’s possible that you don’t fully understand the situation.
That is the coolest thing ever! Great picture i love it.

Interesting to learn about the ability to eat these, good to know if you were ever lost and hungry.
Great shot as always my friend.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Just to add to the first comment, a little white wine, butter and shallots make these fiddleheads delicious! I seem to find them only in specialty grocery stores, co-op farms and organic groceries. To me, they taste a lot like spinach, but their unique shape and texture looks really great on the plate. If you can find them, try them!

In New Zealand the Maori's call them Koru, the spiral found in alot of native jewelry is inspired by this, it is a symbol of growth and new life.

"Fiddlehead" refers to the unopened fronds of any fern. Ostrich Fern is the edible variety in North America and its bright green and meaty, not brownish and delicate like these. Some ferns are carcinogenic, so don't eat them unless you're sure! ... LOVE THE PHOTO THOUGH! ;)

The past is only a memory, the future a fantasy. it's only in the present that we truly live.
In New England the bright green curlies ARE called "fiddleheads" and theyre sold in produce stores in the spring. You know spring has sprung when it's Fiddlehead season!
