I am trying out a larger piece of glass in order to display more of the foilage. Here is a fern sprig from a beautiful fiddlehead fern which was found in the woods amongst the many ferns which are scattered throughout the brush near our home. I recently read that a Fern symbolizes sincerity towards others. It can also be a symbol of magic, fascination, confidence, shelter, discretion, reverie or a secret bond of love. I'm going to pick sincerity towards others as its meaning.

In addition, yarrow , possibly because of it's strong odor, was sometimes called the Devil's Plaything and associated with witchcraft and evil.
Another perspective asserts that yarrow could protect one against that very witchcraft. It was strewn across the threshold of a house to keep out evil influences and was worn to guard against evil spells. Some people tied sprigs of it to a baby's cradle to protect the infant from witches who might try to steal away its soul. Essentially it's a pretty little trinket whatever the lore is.
