Ailing Grandmother = Fern. I've met two very sweet latino boys throughout my days who went by Ferny. In the movie "The Lonely Guy" featuring Steve Martin and Charles Grodin in the very early 1980s, Charles Grodin recommends Steve Martin gets many ferns to inhabit his apartment and to not call them plants or ferns but instead "guy." "Hey guy, you thirsty?" A sturdy plant that doesn't flower. "Ferns have been with us for more than 300 million years and in that time the diversification of their form has been phenomenal. Ferns grow in many different habitats around the world. The ferns were at their height during the Carboniferous Period (the age of ferns) as they were the dominant part of the vegetation at that time." A plant that has the ability to overrun specific areas and be too dominant. I am forcing too much communication in the situation of which I find my interest becoming piqued (peaked). And "What's the deal with those weird spores on the bottom of a fern frond?" asked the stand up comedian. |
