CROZIER

As I was replanting the Butterfly Garden enclosure on 12 Feb 10, I was captivated by this unfurling crozier of a fern I purchased from Thailand last Jan 09 and couldn't help but took photos of it.

I just found it so beautiful - the way it curled near the tip of the frond and the way it unfolded itself as it grew. Yet, the pinnate fronds were similarly uncurling at the same time. It is just amazing!
