Walking Fern (Asplenium rhizophyllum)

For a complete list of plants go to: This page will serve as a repository for field botany videos, primarily for my biology students, though all are welcome. I will periodically post field botany videos as opportunity avails itself. Field botany, of course, is better “in the field.” However, I have found it difficult to take my students into “the field” for various reasons. Limitations aside, I desire to transmit my love for botany to my students and hope in some small measure to introduce them to the wonderful world of field botany. Perhaps, as it did in me, this effort will spark a future love for botany and more importantly, a love for the Creator of these incredible botanical wonders. My purpose then is to… (1) Introduce my students to native plants of Virginia (though occasionally plants from other regions might make the list). (2) Provide a snapshot of the plant only (a teaser of sorts). My intent is not to be thorough, since I desire for students to complete a field botany notebook and fill in the missing details themselves. (3) Give God the due glory He deserves for His creative genius.
