    Seeing the little thumbnail photo on Blogger Dashboard I thought this was a piece of ornate metalwork. It's very beautiful.

    In Canada when the fern is in this shape they are called fiddle heads. People gather them up and cook them then eat them. They are most popular in the Maritime Provinces.
