Fern Fiddleheads

There's something about unfolding fern and bracken fronds. They're so pleasing to look at and sort of symbolise new life. I've discovered why. In the image of the fern, we have reference to the "golden symmetry"; it's said that the "golden mean" (the most aesthetically pleasing mathematical ratio) is found in the fern frond; it represents perfect balance & therefore, is said to approach the Divine. The fern frond also represents the unfolding of new life, as the frond of the young fern is tightly curled, & then it proceeds to unfurl toward the light. The Maori of New Zealand have a symbol called the Koru, which is a representation of the fern frond.
