An unusual member of the spleenwort family, the Walking Fern can produce new plants at the end of its leaves! My father and I came across many of these ferns while hiking the Buffalo River Trail.

This past Saturday, Silvia and I headed to Lake Sequoyah for an exciting and cold day of fishing. As we walked the trails around Lake Sequoyah, our ears and noses numb from the cold breeze through the tall Gleditsia triacanthos tress, I spotted a Botrychium dissectum at my feet! It was bronzed with touches of green. What a great sight to see. This isn't a protected species in Arkansas, but it is nice to see some diversity around all the Lonicera maackii. The Amur Honeysuckle is an invasive species in Arkansas. Just walk around Lake Sequoyah during the fall, you will see nothing but those horrible plants choking out the rest of the native species.
