I had a flash back to fiddle head ferns in Maine. Some friends were
collecting all edible foods from the wild and it was a good meal.

They are pretty good as a salad, Mixed with some flower petals and
other edible things. Dressing of your choice. I usually would prefer
olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Ferns look like alien life-forms.
Especially when they're as perfect as your subjects always are - the
plants I photograph usually have some dead leaf or blemish on them
somewhere!

We have a herbaceous fern called "bracken" which has an underground root
sytem. One plant can cover half a county and in hot wet seasons the
shoots grow fast enough to blur your pictures. Farmers fear it.
