Bright Spring Sunlight  樹上享受陽光

The whisk fern has passed the cold spring between two branches. I have worried about its survival. 


 Now this plant is enjoying the gentle sunlight on the chery crotch. I watched it several times and noticed that bark could keep warmer temperature than the ground. The winter temperature in my area can go down to -8℃ or 17°F. Whisk fern cannot grow at this coldness on the ground. This one did choose the good place!
松葉蕨本來是溫暖地帶植物。與地面相比,樹皮能保持溫暖溫度。因此,這個植物能在櫻樹的樹襠上忍受嚴寒。

  3. It will interesting to see what plant looks like with leaves on it. On a tree. There's something on our pine tree in back lawn. Something that shouldn't be on trees but it has flowers on it at times. Husband cuts it back once in awhile. Spraying it isn't good cuz it could me mess up the tree. Have a good weekend.

  4. Hello rtc, You must have used trick photography to get these pictures. In Taipei lately, the sky only comes in one color, gray, and the sun is a distant memory! Seriously, you have a real talent for observing and enjoying nature.

  5. Dearest RTC,
    Indeed, what a sheltered spot in the arm pit or as you mention crotch of this cherry tree!
    The drying cold air could not harm it and also the temperature remained quite different from being on the ground.
    It will be worthwhile to see its further development in the sunny days ahead!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  6. I am trying to comment and got blocked. Will try again.

    I hope you take pictures of the plants change as spring arrives. It would be fun to watch it awaken.

  7. The plants choose the place where they want to live, sometimes we put them in a certain place inside our house and they resist to prosper but, when we change their place, we see them happy, making us happy.

  12. That is an interesting looking tree. I'm glad you are getting a bit of sunlight. We have had some also, but it's still very cold. Have a good February week ahead. : )

  15. Nature is amazing. The fern has found the right place to stay alive throughout winter. When Spring comes, they start to thrive.

  16. Sometimes I worry about plants and animals in bad weather, too. But they seem to have an instinct of the best places to be in bad weather. I don't think they can feel very comfortable sometimes, though! Do you?
