My Terrarium

Ferns

I walk to get slushies at a convenience store when it is a hot day. I always walk across this bridge to get there even though there's a faster way, but only because that bridge was my youth's memories. Walking from school with friends home across this bridge, and everything else. A Inc I switched schools and haven't seen too many of my old friends recently, especially my best friends, I am surprised that when I do cross that bridge I do not cry a river. But then instead of getting anywhere closer to my old school, I go down this street instead. Then about 10 minutes later after completely crossing the bridge I am by a cliffside. I should be careful there as a rockslide or mudslide could be a lethal blow. However, all kinds of plants grow on this cliff, including ferns, some weird weed with pink, purple, or white flowers, poison ivy, grasses, some second plant I have no idea of what it's common or Latin name is, and even the Queen Anne's lace we mentioned earlier. Because Queen Anne's lace has a much bigger taproot than aniseroot, I didn't put that in. Instead I took the ferns because they look nice. I tried to get the plant that I had no idea what it's name was, it wasn't in flower, but then I decided the ferns would be enough. I took three ferns and planted them in here. Most of the plant's in my terrarium reproduce by seed. However, the ferns and the moss reproduce like mushrooms- YES! They produce spores. That is how they reproduce. Ferns and mosses are the only plants I know of that reproduce by spores, all the others I know produce seeds. This fern is pretty in here, but unlike most ferns this has a tiny root system, and is much smaller than the ferns in your garden. I have no idea what type of fern this is, but it certainly isn't the edible ostrich fern, the ostrich fern fiddleheads are the only edible ferns. The rest of the ferns out there are too tough or poisonous, or even both. But this is doing well in here. Now I need to water my terrarium.
