On that particular plant, the New Zealand fern, it is known as the Piko (or piko piko) - the name of the organic shop you went to - and it is part of a maori (raw and cooked) diet! There is even a song about it that school kids sing. Also, the fern is special because you can turn it upside down and it is silver and it helps you find your way in the dark. That is why most New Zealand sports teams have a silver fern on their uniforms (eg, the All Blacks rugby team, silver ferns netball team, etc etc). It is our national plant! Take care, from Felicity's mum, JulianneArt Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665737414411180961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130876414959690584.post-36843948743260506302010-12-19T19:14:08.829-08:002010-12-19T19:14:08.829-08:00love the pics!! your trip looks amazing!! what a b...love the pics!! your trip looks amazing!! what a beautiful world you've been experiencing... live it up!Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700638919876859966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130876414959690584.post-56866153505010242892010-12-18T01:00:41.711-08:002010-12-18T01:00:41.711-08:00Connie, that is so awesome. =) Spirals in nature b...Connie, that is so awesome. =) Spirals in nature blow my mind.
