Fern

Ferns, Bracken, Fern fronds

Ferns are far older than flowers and thrive in shade and damp where many plants would give up. In a dream they often stand for quiet resilience and growth that doesn't need the spotlight. Their lacy fronds never bloom, yet they fill a woodland with green, a reminder that worth doesn't have to be showy. A forest floor thick with ferns can feel ancient and secret, a sign you're drawn to what's hidden or old. Brown, dry ferns may suggest a part of your life that has gone without attention for too long.
