The beauty of nature is spread around us, but we have to know to discover it. The photo above is a photo of a new bud on a strange but beautiful plant. It is the new leaf of a fern, which grows curled and expands slowly. Fern plants generally grow well in shady and moist environments.
As seen in this photograph, the plant's new bud is spirally curved and has small bristles or hairy coverings. This process of growing new leaves is called circinate vernation, which is especially known for ferns. When these buds develop into full leaves, they look like normal plant leaves, but fern leaves are slightly different.
Some characteristics of fern plants
- No seeds, grown by spores
While most plants grow through seeds, ferns grow from spores. These spores are located on the underside of the leaf as small granules.
- Prefers cool and moist environment
Ferns usually grow in forests, hilly areas, along rivers or in shady areas.
- Ancient plants
Scientists say it existed even during the age of dinosaurs and has persisted for millions of years.
Nature itself is a wonderful artist. This process of fern growth teaches us that change comes step by step and that beauty unfolds itself if we wait patiently. The green color of the image symbolizes the freshness of nature and the cycle of life. It teaches us that every new beginning may be small and fragile, but with time it becomes strong and beautiful.
This photography is not just a photo of a plant, it is a window into a unique mystery of nature. If we look deeply into nature, there is an amazing story of life hidden in every little plant.
