Reveal


 Poor reader Willie got worried about the beastie mum found in the garden.  It is a fern about to unfurl and is the biggest in our garden.

    do Apps..! :(

    I would never have guessed it was a fern, Poppy! It looks like a hairy caterpillar wrapped up in a leaf. We have hundreds of ferns around the edges of our lower fields but they don't have a hairy surface like that. I can recognise it as such now you have said.

    We thought it might be, given the shape. When the biped was a child, she would pick fiddleheads in the spring. Best served steamed with some butter and salt and pepper on top, with fish. It was always a fish accompaniment. Yum.

    MOL! My human knew it was a fern, but we could totally tell how someone would mistake it for a critter.
