Rustic home decor idea that brightens a corner area
This rustic home decor idea, called the Drifting Ferns series, surfaced when fern leaf studies were pressed between glass. Since using real fronds would deplete the forest of our native ferns, the images are printed on the back of glass. This process makes for a permanent piece of primitive decor that will never fade or turn brown.
These botanical-style decor pieces are inspired by the beauty of our natural world. People like you have discovered our creative imagery of plants and ferns. For over a decade, all frames are hand built and finished by craftspeople located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. These collections encourage our customers to beautify their surroundings by bringing the outside in. Flowers are more attractive in groups, such as found in gardens. The same is true of these wild bird studies. With that in mind, our pieces in these selected collections offer the most visual impact when hung in your home, preferably an old door.
In some respect, this rustic home decor idea could be called "Flying Fronds" or perhaps "Fronds on a wall". As any fern enthusiast knows, the fronds are the leafy part of a fern. The image printed on the glass is truly a frond, but how many people truly know that piece of trivia.
All of our botanical art is presented in high quality prints of the original artwork and your complete satisfaction is guaranteed.

For more than 300 million years, ferns have proliferated into many diverse forms. Anywhere in the world you might travel, ferns flourish in a variety of locations. Indeed there are approximately 12,000 different types of ferns. At one time in our ancient history, ferns were the dominant vegetation. Most of the ferns of that period became extinct but some survived to evolve into our modern ferns. To label a series of fern prints as "primitive decor" carries an authentic tone. Today, there are about 12,000 species in the entire world.
Wherever you see a fern, you are actually looking at a frond. It is divided into two main parts, the stipe (leaf stalk or petiole) and the blade (the leafy expanded portion) of the frond. Fronds vary greatly in size: ranging from tree ferns with 12 foot fronds to the mosquito ferns with fronds only 1/16 of an inch long.
Enthusiasts for ferns can be found at The British Pteridological Society, founded in the Lake District in 1891 Today this organization continues to provide a wide range of information about ferns, through its website and by publishing regular journals, leaflets and books, and organising formal talks, informal discussions and outdoor meetings. The international membership includes those interested in gardening, natural history and botany, both amateur and professional. It is a friendly society run on a voluntary basis. If you are seeking a friendly society of "frond" fern friends, British Pteridological Society may interest you.
