EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Oreopteris limbosperma, commonly known as the Lemon scented fern. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Cairngorms semi-permanent snow patches in Scotland's Cairngorms National Park, this image captures nature at its finest. The rocky terrain and mountainous slopes create a picturesque setting for this European fern species to thrive. Its delicate foliage stands out amidst the rugged landscape, adding a touch of vibrancy to the scene. The intricate leaves of this pteridophyte are beautifully displayed, showcasing their unique patterns and textures. As we delve into the details of this botanical wonder, it is impossible not to appreciate its biological significance. This fern belongs to an ancient group of plants called pteridophytes, which have been around for millions of years. Their ability to adapt and survive in such harsh environments is truly remarkable. In June, when this photograph was taken, summer had arrived in full swing in the Scottish Highlands. The scent of lemon fills the air as hikers explore Coire an Lochain and marvel at these lemon-scented ferns that grace its rocky crevices. Thanks to Science Photo Library's expertise behind capturing moments like these with precision and artistry, we can admire nature's wonders from afar. This print serves as a reminder of both our planet's incredible biodiversity and Scotland's natural treasures found within Cairngorms National Park.
