Images I took of ferns and their neighbors spotted in the wild. Species, variations, no specific locations.
Timelapse video of this would be outstanding!

....also, I can see how/why you make this case. Others are clearly winged. Both Narrow and Broad may be present.

I should share more pictures. I thought about this one a bit. Narrow (connectilis) is notably absent from my state expect in far west mountain region. It would be a discovery of sorts if it turns out to be connectilis.

Did you observe differences in the presence of common ferns across elevation and landscape? What sorts did you see?

If this is something other than seasonal color change, I am interested to learn more

Also, the map you shared has these growing much farther north than I would have imagined. Sightings in Michigan's Upper Peninsula really surprises me.

As bramble growth falls back a bit with cooler weather, I am looking forward to exploring further in the area where I spotted these. I'd love to see a large cluster like what you have pictured.
