| Beads of water clung in rows to the broad leaves of fern and pillows of moss. |
| Found in the shade throughout the growing season are numerous ferns and fern allies. |
| If you look to the right of the photo, above the flytraps, you can see something that looks like a fern fiddlehead unrolling. |
