Fern Sporangia

Fern spores are the tiny genetic bases for new plants. They are found contained in a casing, called sporangia, on the underside of the leaves. These are from a fern growing in my garden.

Lots of potential new ferns:-) The undersides are always a surprise, you got the spores in perfect detail.

We did get a few "baby" plants, which seem to have settled in happily.

There must be millions of these spores on each plant.........this one was only about one metre high, and there were some on every single little leaf.
