Resurrection Fern

The odd-looking carpet plant growing on many of the live oaks in Conway has a scientific name of Polypodium polypodioides or "many footed". In dry weather it is brown and dead looking, but within an hour after a shower, the shriveled fronds open out into vibrant green leaves. This death to life cycle explains the plant's common name "Resurection Fern".

To everything there is a season ...

To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
