Ferns and moss in a wall, Aradena
The photo was taken just above a doorway in a ruined house.
The stones are held betwen two beams of cypress wood and as
it is shaded there is plenty of plant growth.
The fern is a Ceterach officinarum. Its English name is Rusty
Back, because of the reddish-brown hairs on the underside of
the leaves
