I think these are ostrich ferns -
the ones that are gathered wild as fiddleheads
and served as a seasonable vegetable, with lots of butter.
If they are left to grow,
they uncurl into graceful ferns,
and blanket the woods.

I know what I'm searching for today. The fiddleheads taste like fresh asparagus. Thanks for sharing some cool pics of them.
