	Resurrection fern
		Resurrection fern is a fascinating plant very common in the Southeast and found from Florida to New York and west to Texas.
		The fern is an air plant, which means it attaches itself to other plants and gets its nutrients from the air and from water and nutrients that collect on the outer surface of bark.
		Resurrection fern lives on the branches of large trees such as cypresses and live oaks.

	Backyard Ferns
		When fern prothalli are mature and water is present, sperm swim from the antheridia through the water to the archegonia, and when a sperm fertilizes an egg in an archegonium, then a zygote is formed, and this zygote develops into an embryo, which eventually grows into a fern of the type we are familiar with.
		The next step in the fern life cycle is for the fern fronds to mature to the point that they produce spores, and when those spores are released and one germinates, the entire cycle begins again.
		In both cases, that of the fern and that of the amphibians, this necessity for having water during sexual reproduction is a reflection of the organism-types primitive nature.

	Missouri Ferns
		Ferns grow on sea-sprayed cliffs, in the crevices of rocks and bluffs, in lakes and rivers, in high mountainous regions and even in semi-deserts.
		Fern allies are species of plants that have been historically grouped with the true ferns because of similarities in reproduction and their internal systems for the circulation of water and food.
		Missouri's ferns and fern allies can be traced to ancient climatic or geographic connections to northern forests, to dry regions of the southwest and to the moist, warm tropical forests of the Central America and the Caribbean.
