Athyrium filix-femina sporophytes with gametophytes

Athyrium filix-femina  Lady Fern  - Gametophytes below

This shot shows part of a mature sporophyte frond above, and the cluster of gametophytes (some with young sporophytes) on the moist soil below.  The gametophytes have, of course, developed from the spores that have dropped down under the adult sporophyte.  For a closer look at the gametophytes, look here.  For a more typical view of a complete sporophyte, look here.
