Silver…….

…………………..Fern


A close view of the top of two tips forming part of a frond for the Tiny Tuesday challenge.

The  silver fern  or ponga is a national symbol and is named for the silver underside of its fronds.

It has been the symbol of New Zealand’s national rugby team since the1880s and is worn by all our top athletes.

Tourism New Zealand and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise have adopted the silver fern as the country of origin symbol for New Zealand.


Thank you for the many visits, the comments, stars and hearts for yesterday’s moody Eucalyptus.
