--0015174c123cb7c2cf046ccf2c8d Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Moonwort Grapeferns , *Botrychium Lunaria*, may be seen along the trail and among the dunes to the north of the wooden walkway at Conrad's Beach, on the way to Lawrencetown, Halifax Country. According to the Peterson Field Guide to Ferns, it is "more common in folklore and fable than in person". This time of the year they are mostly 1" to 3" tall, but stand out a bit due to the yellow color of the spore cases. They can reach 6" in height later in the season. This is a stable population, I have seen them there for several years. Due to their size they are rather hard to find.
