Hi all,

We have a fern in our bathroom window which is exhibiting what I consider
strange behaviour. (not the first instance of this in the bathroom, but I
digress).

Anyway, I don't know exactly what fern it is, but it seems fairly typical
fern style, i.e. it has fronds which unroll into "leaves", which have
leaflets arranged alternately along the midrib.

For the last few weeks it has been putting out some form of shoot, which
starts off as very light green at the growing tip, then darker green, then
brown at the oldest part. But all these shoots are heading *AWAY* from the
light, even the ones which emerge closest to the window are doing a U turn
and heading into the room. What's going on here?

TIA

Steve
