Latest Arrival: "Man Fern"

Sister Katie Neighbor Lady rolled in on Tracy's birthday with this present for her garden.
One of the names for it is: "Man Fern"
Gee, I wonder, why?

Interestingly, scientifically speaking, it's biological classification defines it to be of the family Dicksoniaceai, suitable, I suppose.























The Hawaiian name is Hapu'u.
(pronounced hah-poo-ooo - accent on the "poo" and the "ooo" sounds like the "ooo" in you, too!



Here is a photo grabbed from Google Images that shows Hapu'u much more grown up and old enough to wear clothes!
