Phlebodium aureum
The plants in our fernery don’t get a lot of attention apart from watering, but could probably do better with some TLC.
In other thoughts, I got curious about the etymology of ‘emergence’ and ‘emergency’ two similar words with very different meanings. They both come from medieval Latin emergentia, from Latin emergere ‘bring to light’ or ‘arise’.

I finished this one yesterday and started again at the beginning, because I‘m sure I missed stuff the first time through.

A & I returned to the Backbone Trail after more than a month’s break, and hiked the penultimate and longest section. It was so pretty, especially between Tri-Peaks and Sycamore Canyon. We had Chamberlain Trail to ourselves; it seems that only thru-hikers go there, as it isn‘t a convenient loop or out-and-back hike. I’d like to return with my birding binoculars; I *think* I saw my first Phainopeplas.
