Plant of the Day

Wednesday 15 May 2024

Native to China and the Himalayas Adiantum venustum (evergreen maidenhair fern, Himalayan maidenhair fern) is a deciduous fern but usually remains evergreen to -10 °C when it will be deciduous. This plant needs a moist environment with soil containing a large amount of humus.

#3665 - Adiantum hispidulum - Rough Maidenhair Fern

Christchurch Airport has a wall planted with thousands of ferns, overlooking the luggage carousels. Naturally I made a beeline towards it, to see If I could ID the species and if they were ones from the previous trip.

AKA five-fingered jack. It was first described by Swedish botanist Olof Peter Swartz (1760 – 1818) in 1802. Swartz' main work was on ferns, but he was also the world's first expert on orchid taxonomy.

Adiantum hispidulum is native to New Zealand, but it's also found in Africa, Australia, Polynesia, Malesia, and other Pacific Islands, and unfortunately thriving in the Azores and the other islands of Macaronesia, the SE United States, and Hawaii.

Its fronds are about 45cm long, and sprout from rhizomes among rocks or in the soil in sheltered areas.

Christchurch, NZ.

Now that it has been presented, I can share my progress pictures for the block printing I did for the lining of Morrghan O’Siodhachain laurel cloak. I have to admit, thinking through the layout and planning of print placement turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Trying to plot how to place each print so it looked mostly even and the wreath always pointed ‘up’ was a challenge. (I will note that all of the examples of circle cloaks I found with all over patterning - the placement of decoration were NOT evenly spread over the cloak by any means). I also discovered I needed a lot more table space than I thought to be able to spread it almost fully while I worked on it.

The material is a white/cream colored silk. I used Speedball silver fabric printing ink. And the block was one of her own carving. This was the first time I’ve printed silk and in the future I would not use this kind of ink again. It needs heat setting and I could not get it hot enough for long enough without scorching the fabric. And the water-based Speedball fabric printing ink is more like paint than ink so getting the block loaded nicely was tricky. Over all it turned out pretty well imo. And it filled me with so much joy making it for one of my dearest friends!!!
