#Royal fern

[vandaliatraveler]

Where it narrows and plummets through a steep gorge at Valley Falls State Park, the Tygart Valley River has broken the Connoquenessing sandstone through which it passes into massive, jumbled slabs. In the margins of these wrecked pillars, where sediment and fine sand wash out, a great diversity of life has sprung up. The river is both destroyer and creator, more powerful and relentless than any god man has dreamed up.

From top: royal fern (Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis), a water-loving beauty that clumps in the nooks between the boulders; the elegant tassel rue (Trauvetteria carolinensis), with its sharply-lobed, palmate leaves; yellow star grass (Hypoxis hirsuta), whose six-petaled flowers and delicate, grass-like leaves are quite attractive; American water willow (Justicia americana), whose creeping rhizomes allow the plant to form extensive colonies at the edges of streams and rivers; silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), a thicket-forming wetlands lover; and ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), easily identified by its brown stem.

Language of Flowers: Osmunda

In the language of flowers, each day of the year has its designated flower. Today, October 28, that flower is Osmunda, which signifies dreams. Image above from Wikipedia. The Osmunda sporangia (the enclosure in which spores are formed) uniformly ripen to a lovely golden color, and many folks think the fern is in bloom. It is not, but the common name “flowering fern” persists. One species,…

Over three years ago British female comedians had a brief MeToo moment on Twitter and made it very clear that the women on the circuit knew Russell Brand was a rapist. Tweets were deleted, he’s apparently got excellent lawyers, but he’s had it coming

Despite its small size, Valley Falls State Park is a real treasure. Most people who visit the park come for the falls on the Tygart Valley River and completely ignore the beautiful trails. The Rhododendron and Glady Creek Trails wind through some lovely old cove forest anchored by impressive boulder fields smothered in moss. It has that LOTR thing going, especially along some of the more secluded sections of Glady Creek, culminating in an enchanting, multi-tiered waterfall draped in rhododendron. This time of the year, the mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) and ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius) are in bloom (I can't decide which is lovelier) and the fungi and ferns dominate the forest floor, now that the canopy has closed over. The American royal fern (Osmunda spectabilis), which grows in the nooks and crannies of the giant boulders at the edge of the river, is a personal favorite of mine.

Bruh, I'm not even joking, I saw that post you made about Libbey Glass almost two months ago and had been hunting to find a couple of them but ideally a full set.

Let me tell you, the *hype* I had when I found an entire set of them *WITH* the original box that I could afford...off the charts. The delivery arrived today, the glasses are gorgeous, and I can't wait to use them.

Sorry if this was annoying, I just got super excited about it :D

AAAHHHH!!!

That is amazing!! I've been on the hunt here for them, and no luck, but I'm glad you found a FULL SET WITH THE BOX ✨️

❤️❤️❤️
