INSTRUCTIONS: Document something growing.

Hello, Hi hi! I'm Mollie.

This is my selaginella lepidophylla. Watch her grow:

I hate to be the one to tell you, but your chicken is a cat.

This may explain why you have been disappointed with its egg production.

A vote despite calling Selaginella a fern even though it is in fact a lycopod (not quite moss, not quite fern).

And I'm not totally sure that unfurling is growing, but none the less the praxis is quite a pleasure to look at.

Agreed on both counts, and maybe I should not trust paxton's labels any longer.

I like to think of it as a whimsical variation of growth.


And also, I like to think that it's turning return to a nice greenish shade and flowering shape is a kind of growth, though perhaps just a change of state??
