Found this cute plant near a creek in Wild Basin. Adiantum capillus-veneris, or the Black Maidenhair Fern, is a native to the southern half of the United States. However, this plant is apparently so popular that is has become a common household plant in the United States! I wonder how this plant developed its nickname, Black Maidenhair Fern. It has similar nicknames such as Southern Maidenhair Fern and Venus Hair Fern. Was their a maiden that named this fern? If so, why did it name it after their hair? The world is a confusing place, but it is also a beautiful place.
