Fern Synergy – Life & Decay 2023 – Sots Hole Nature Reserve.
Ferns! I just love Ferns, beautiful exotic, textured spore spilling plants. In the summer I planted a few different varieties in my Garden Nook under the tree. This is one of them, it’s a Ladder Fern. Blechnum spicant, & Dryopteris erythrosora. Wood fern. Japanese Shield fern. The unravelling leaves on both plants are just so pretty and delicate to look at and photograph.

Autumn is an epic time to photograph the wild common ferns, the colour displays they give are spectacular. I wasn’t disappointed when visiting Sots Hole Nature Reserve in Lyndon West Bromwich, and found this hedgerow erupting in colour. These beautiful plants and there wonderous symmetry have lead me to creating Fern Synergy – Life & Decay. This piece of art has become my new favourite. The warmth of orange, which also symbolises a beautiful process of decay. The fading lush green tendrils covered carrying dark orange / red spores, ready to drop and scatter to give new life. Nature has all the resources it needs for the cycle of life.
