These are called Resurrection Ferns (ones that grow from random places- cracks in steps, walls, etc) after a good rain. People often ask me what my favorite thing about New Orleans is (because I annoyingly somehow find a way to work the topic into every conversation I have). I have one reply: "If you stand on a street corner for any amount of time, something will settle on you and start growing. A spore will land in your ear and you'll have a 3" fern growing out of your head by the time the bus comes." The rich delta soil spits out life in alarming volume. When the city is gone I will come fish its ruins, because it is the city that will not stop giving.
This is a second post of resurrection ferns (See NOLA F&F 004). I have nothing more to say about them but this picture floors me as much as the first. So I submit it for your enjoyment.
