The bulblet fern is a small, leafy plant that grows in shady places. It has tiny bulbs that can grow into new ferns, making it special and fun to find in the wild!

The bulblet fern has delicate, bright green fronds that are twice-divided, giving them a lacy appearance. Its slender, often reddish stems support many small, lime-green bulblets found on the underside of the fronds, making it visually distinct from other ferns.
