Dont think i have that in my collection yet
they are the ones that grow out of damp walls & under old railway arches

i'd like to take one home but it wouldnt thrive, that's their deal isn't it, delicate insurgents uncompromisingly wild in their own tiny territory

even their name is lovely

i'd like to find the biggest in london

Wall Ferns

Hart’s-tongue​

It is difficult not to be captivated by the distinctive appearance of the Hart’s-tongue. With its elongated, undulating fronds, this fern stands out amongst its peers. The glossy green fronds of this species are singular, not divided like other ferns. Underneath, you’ll likely spot distinctive orange spores. The plants you spot in walls and stonework are usually smaller than their woodland cousins but still make for quite the sight against a background of cold, grey stone.

Hart’s-tongue gets its name from its long, tapering leaves which are said to resemble the tongue of a deer. The leaves are certainly tounge-shaped and even have pointed, curly tips.

Grounds at a nearby unit that gets sprayed by the man with the can just like Jeffrey in Blue Velvet, poor cunt doesn’t know he’s being timed (not by me!)

first looks like a yellow poppy blow-in among shale, pebbles and crumbly brick walkways and walling, it’s superabundant everywhere, beyond prolific and touch of irony given settings

second need to google image search, it’s everywhere and well weedman blow-in

starts here covered by vehicles and survived past purges
