caption: The image shows a fern plant in the middle of a forest, with its lush green leaves and dry leaves scattered on the ground. The fern is a shield fern, with a long, slender stem and a broad, serrated edge. Its leaves are a deep green color, and its veins are visible along the edges of the leaves. The leaves are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with some overlapping each other, creating a beautiful contrast between the two.
