🧭 Baltrum
🌐 Baltrum, Lower Saxony, Germany

🌿🤷‍♂️ I am not entirely sure which ferns I photographed here. Entering the dunes is prohibited, so I could only take close-up shots of the individuals at the edge of the path. The close-ups are probably of broad buckler-fern (Dryopteris dilatata). The last photo with the small mini ferns shows the unmistakable common polypody (Polypodium vulgare).

📖 The following fern species live on Baltrum:

🌿 Lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina)

🌿 Narrow buckler-fern (Dryopteris carthusiana)

🌿 Broad buckler-fern (Dryopteris dilatata)

🌿 Male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas)

🌿 Oak fern (Gymnocarpium dryopteris)

🌿 Royal fern (Osmunda regalis)

🌿 Common polypody (Polypodium vulgare)
