The underside of these fern leaves (not sure of the type - the plant was about 6 ft tall) is blanketed in reproductive spores. They flaunt their velvety texture in the gently flowing breeze and flirt with their chocolate brown richness, despite their asexual characteristics. One can only imagine that it will propagate nicely with nature at the helm. Naples, FL
