Some our most beautiful ferns are “three-times cut.” Lady fern, hayscented fern, and several wood ferns are the more common taxa in this group. We discuss vocabulary, frond morphology, and field identification characteristics. The class involves careful observation of fronds from these species, and possibly a hybrid as well. The indoor session includes a lecture and the use of dissecting microscopes, followed by a field session to see the ferns in various habitat areas of the Garden. Bring a bag lunch and a hand lens if you have one.
