Contrary to popular belief, a fern can be found in many different habitats although they are more commonly thought of as shade and moisture loving plants.
This young unfurling frond of a fern was in fact photographed in a damp shady place namely on the shores of Lake Rotoiti in the Nelson Lakes National Park on the South Island of New Zealand.
However, there are also ferns that grow prolifically in environments such as in dry deserts, alpine mountain regions, in open fields or even in lakes.
