November 18, 2012 -- chartreuse bracken fern

Spotted this incredibly beautiful bracken fern beside the Flower Camp driveway this afternoon. There was lots of it, and it was absolutely glowing in the afternoon light. Usually, bracken fern ages to a sort of (surprise, surprise) bracken color, but this was an intense yellow-green.

This won't last long. Bracken fern doesn't hold up very well in a vase.
