Fern Flower

"Fern Flower is a magic flower in Slavic and Baltic mythologies. According to the myth, this flower blooms for a very short time on the eve of the Summer Solstice (celebrated on June 23 or sometimes July 7). The flower brings fortune to the person who finds it. In various versions of the tale, the fern flower brings luck, wealth, or the ability to understand animal speech. However, the flower is closely guarded by evil spirits and anyone who finds the flower will have access to earthly riches, which has never benefited anyone, so the decision to pick the flower or leave it alone is left up to the individual."

In fact, ferns are not flowering plants.
That Columbine flower in this photo was just that.
I can't resist glancing though every time I see a fern and tomorrow is 23 June which should be the day of blooming per the myth!
The ability to understand Boone's barking is worth the extra effort. Lol.
