California Maidenhair Fern
California Maidenhair Fern, Adiantum jordanii, grows in moist, shady locations along streams and north-facing slopes throughout California, recognized by its fan-shaped leaflets and black stems. It cleverly adapts to California's climate by going dormant during dry summers, reappearing with winter rains.
Native Costanoan people used decoctions for pain relief, blood purification, and digestive aid, while the Pomo and Kashaya utilized the strong black stems for basketry and earrings.
Symbolism: The name Adiantum means "unwettable," as water beads on its leaves, symbolizing purity and innocence in folklore.
Each print is made by the artist using archival quality pigment ink on Moab’s Entrada Rag Bright 300 paper.
