The fern used to be called maidenhair and the following was written about it:

"Hitherto naturalists have endeavoured in vain to discover the hidden properties of this plant. It seems to deliberately conceal the secrets of its flowers and fruits from their gaze, entrusting only its invisible seeds to the west winds. Zephyr alone enshrouds the cradle of these tender children of Floren. With her fluttering hair, he covers the cave like a dark veil, where the lonely Naiad has slumbered since time immemorial. Sometimes it carries them to the battlements of an old castle, where they shimmer like greenish stars; or it forms light threads from them to decorate cool and shady places, the favourite haunts of shepherds. Thus this fern remains a constant enigma to us and hides its secret origin from the most perceptive eyes; but it rewards with good deeds anyone who endeavours to explore it."

This passage originates from the more than 200-year-old booklet: "Die Blumensprache oder Symbolik des Pflanzenreichs. (The language of flowers or the symbolism of the plant kingdom; After the French of Mrs Charlotte de Latour by Karl Müchler. Berlin 1821)
According to this booklet, the fern symbolises modesty and discretion.

According to the "Complimentirbuch oder Anweisung in Gesellschaften ... höflich und angemessen zu reden" (Competency book or instructions on how to speak politely and appropriately in society) from 1840, in the chapter on the language of flowers it says that fern means: "The bond of love between noble souls is often forged at the first moment".

When I read this, I remembered my bridal bouquet. They were small dark red roses with white gypsophila, framed by ferns. I wonder if the fern is responsible for the fact that we have been happily married for over 26 years?

Who can really know? In any case, I'm delighted that there was some fern in my bridal bouquet.

The fern was filmed by Simone Schlegel in the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, and the video was edited by Wenjing Ma.

在德文中，蕨類植物曾被稱為“女人的頭髮”，關於蕨類的以下文字被記載下來：

「至今為止，自然學家們徒勞地試圖發現這種植物的隱藏特性。它似乎有意地在他們的探視下隱藏其花朵和果實的秘密，只將它那看不見的種子託付給西風。只有西風才能輕柔地環繞佛羅拉的這些嬌嫩孩子的搖籃。它用它們飄揚的頭髮像一個黑暗的面紗一樣遮蓋著那個洞穴，那裡有自遠古以來孤獨的水仙女沉睡著。有時它會把它們帶到一座古老城堡的尖塔上，在那裡它們像綠色的星星一樣閃爍；或者它會用這些輕盈的藤蔓來裝飾涼爽而陰涼的地方，牧羊人的最愛。因此，這種蕨類植物對我們來說仍是一個持續的謎團，它隱藏著其神秘的起源，不為最敏銳的眼睛所見；但它通過其恩惠來獎賞那些努力探索它的人。」

這段文字出自一本超過200年歷史的小冊子：《花語或植物王國的象徵意義。（根據夏洛特·德·拉圖夫人的法文版由卡爾·穆赫勒在1821年柏林翻譯）》根據這本小冊子，蕨類植物代表謙遜和保密。

根據1840年的《稱讚書或在社交場合……禮貌和適當地說話的指導》，在花語章節中提到，蕨類意味著「高貴靈魂之間的愛情聯盟往往在第一瞬間就締結」。

當我讀到這些時，我想起了我的婚禮花束。它是由小型深紅色玫瑰和白色的露珠草圍繞的蕨類組成。是否是蕨類讓我們婚姻幸福超過26年？

誰又能知道呢？無論如何，我很高興我的婚禮花束中有蕨類。

這些蕨類由Simone Schlegel在瑞士伯恩高地的勞特布倫嫩谷拍攝，影片由馬文璟編輯。
