Fern Fantasy… along the Long White Cloud

Hiking in New Zealand, admiring and collecting ferns

*Hills of tree ferns @Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand*

*For a long time Antoine has been dreaming to see a C. medullaris in its native world*

*Antoine’s parents joined the expedition!*

*How beautiful are the black fronds of the Black Fern*

*A nursery fully dedicated to NZ native ferns!!*

It is the first time that we see this specie of fern. It has spongy fronds look like large, long feathers of intense green. Apparently it’s called Leptopteris superba… and it is indeed superbly beautiful! @Kahurangi National Park, New Zealand
