Fern Crozier

The most interesting part that i like so much about fern is -crozier. For anyone don't have any idea what crozier is...let me explain in simple way..

Young fronds are typically coiled that look like fiddleheads are known as crozier. As the young frond matures, the coiled tips unfold and the shape of the frond slowly becomes obvious. In a number of species the newly unfolded fronds are colourful, showing shades of pink, red or purple. Mature fronds may also show colours.

Here, i had some pictures of crozier that was taken during my project sampling at Bukit Nanas Reserved Forest.

This is the fiddlehead/Crozier on this fern and it is the beginning of the frond unfolding.
