Congrats! This spotting has been featured as a PN Fact of the Day!https://www.facebook.com/projectnoah/pho...Project Noah Fact of the Day: The kidney fern, native to New Zealand, has very thin fronds that are only 4 to 6 cells thick. During hot, dry weather, the fronds shrivel up to save moisture then re-open when conditions are favorable again.Kidney fern (Trichomanes reniforme) spotted in West Coast, New Zealand by PN user Max Gallagher:http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/105...
