sunshine- what’s the nicest compliment you’ve ever gotten?

lover - how do you show someone you like them?

boo - what’s your dream date?

Wow wasn’t expecting anyone to do this!

Sunshine - someone once told me I had a nice smile which was lovely as I was insecure about my teeth at the time

Lover - words mainly but I guess physical touch too

Boo - botanical gardens 🥰 followed by going to a restaurant

Cup lichen! :))

Whilst I can't help with understanding ferns I can offer you a picture of magnified fern spores that look like little bugs

it is with horror and delight i can inform you that these are not the spores themselves but rather several round clusters (called sori, or one sorus) of sporangium (which are the things that individually look like little bugs) which look like that because they each hold the spores in a little packet sealed like a cursed wet uncrustable whos water-filled edges gradually dry on exposure to air, causing them to shrink until the tension rips the packet open and pulls them back into a tense straight line, at which point said edge cells have lost so much water that air comes flooding in and the uncrustable slams back together and the spores go flying like a catapult

heres a video with soothing music in the background to help counteract the fact that in action they actually do look like uncomfortably writhing bugs.

and yeah. they just kind of get away with that every day
