Dryopteris wallichiana leaves sold as foliage for flower arrangements. Oaxaca City, Mexico
Spotted the fronds of this handsome fern being sold as cut foliage in the Sanchez Pascua market in Oaxaca city. I believe that the leaves are collected from wild plants, which are common in the mountains outside of the city.
