Fern Sporangia

Fern spores are the tiny genetic bases for new plants. They are found contained in a casing, called sporangia, on the underside of the leaves. These are from a fern growing in my garden.

Wonderful image. So well composed with lovely sharp detail. I remember my amazement when I first found out about spores while studying botany at school.

Shown very artistically Keith. There is so much in our gardens of beauty, even where we don't expect it, and in close up it is even more interesting.
A beautiful image.

Die Sporenbehälter sehen aus wie Saugnäpfe. Ich mag die regelmäßigen Wiederholungen der Formen bei Farnen. Gut beobachtet und präsentiert, Keith!

Lots of potential new ferns:-) The undersides are always a surprise, you got the spores in perfect detail.

We did get a few "baby" plants, which seem to have settled in happily.

There must be millions of these spores on each plant.........this one was only about one metre high, and there were some on every single little leaf.
