If you get down on your knees and look at the nether regions of this fern, this is what you see. At least that's what I saw in 2010 when I took this photo. I have been back to the fern room in the Como Park Conservatory and have not seen this same fern in this particular state.
I don't know enough about ferns to know exactly what these black spots are but I think they have something to do with reproduction. And I'll leave it at that. . . .

In keeping with my color vs. b&w proposal from yesterday, here's the converted version. Because I'm seeing shades of white and brown outside my window right now, I'll take the green version.
These green chairs in the computer lab in the new agriculture building at LATI are more than mere furniture. . .
Lines and textures are hard to resist.
