facilitate. To quicken, in the sense here considered, is to increase speed, move or cause to move more rapidly, as through more space or with, a greater number of motions in the same time. To accelerate is to increase the speed of action or of motion. A motion whose speed increases upon itself is said to be accelerated, as the motion of a falling body, which becomes swifter with every second of time.
Fiddlehead sculpture at the Saint John Arts Centre by sculptor Jim Boyd in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable.Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation).See bracken poisoning). The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
Overview. The new growth of most ferns is called a fiddle head. These coiled, new fronds look very much like the decorative scrolled end on a fiddle. While all ferns have fiddle heads, the name is usually associated with the edible ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris).oil. Ferns of all kinds thrive in rich organic soil. When they are planted underneath trees they will benefit from decaying leaf matter. They prefer a slightly acidic soil PH around 5.5 to 6.0, which is easily achieved with leaf compost.
