lady fern
Lady ferns grow in North America and Eurasia. They can grow in the wild, especially deciduous woodlands. They can be found in meadows, open thickets, moist woods, along stream beds, and cracks of rocks. The color is a light green and they grow to be 24-36 inches tall. The fern grows in the shape of a circle and as they grow thicker, the center dies away.
Most lady ferns are used to decorate homes and can be hung or potted. Elk and grizzly bears use the ferns as a major food source. Native Americans used the plant to cover food, make tea, dry berries, and they also used the oil to get rid of worms, which sometimes could result in an overdose.
