Ferns

One of my favorite things has become ferns.  They weren't always my favorite plant but, they have grown on me like a steadfast friend.

The Victorians became in love with ferns and with their penchant for collecting they dried them and pressed them in frames.

Who would have thought you could put them on the cake?

On of the most popular places to have a wedding is The Fern Grotto in Kaui, Hawaii.  It is beautiful.  I can't top that so I will have to stop.
