Resurrection Fern Resurrected


I spied the above fern, attached to our fishtail palm and got so excited I yelled for Bob to come look what I found. He came, he saw and said so what about it?  I said it's a resurrection fern. The birds must have brought it, we have never had one here. How long has it been there, I never noticed, the rain made it come alive.
He said that is not a resurrection fern. 
I pushed down on the center of the photo and googled searched just to PROVE it!
I have many photos of these ferns on my blog, they only live when it rains, no rain they are dead and ugly but when it rains, they come alive. They are on most large trees but never ours.

Please time travel to a 2009 post to find out about these amazing ferns. 
We had 3 rains, 5 minutes each in the past 2 days. Thank you, Lord!

Oh my, Sandra, I visited your 2009 post and was truly amazed at how the brown plants are resurrected after a little rain. I laughed at Bill's comment, that's such a man thing! Have a great day, my friend. Jo

Dear Bob you might need to remember Sandra speaks the truth. She is an avid researcher and always knows!

I'm happy to see that it is back. Thanks for the link you shared. I believe you are expecting some rain or is it above your area? We have been watching the weather channel because of the storm hitting CA.

I'd never heard of a resurrection fern before, but what a wonderful name!
So, did Bob say, "You're right"? or, "I'm sorry I doubted you, Samar." (ROFLMAO)
