The sections of the light spectrum which the âredâ and âgreenâ cones perceive overlap and this is why red and green colour vision deficiencies are often known as red/green colour blindness and why people with red and green deficiencies see the world in a similar way.
Wood fern (Dryopteris) Plant these delicate, medium-sized ferns in mixed borders to show off their feathery fronds. Autumn ferns (D. erythrosora) are one of the few ferns with seasonal color variation and their fronds change from pale gold and pink in spring to green in summer and rusty copper in fall. The ferns spread by underground stems to form swaths in garden beds.
There are about 375,000 species of plants, with more being discovered each year. This includes seed plants, bryophytes, ferns and relatives of ferns called fern allies. Some 297,326 species of plants have been identified, of which 258,650 are flowering and 15,000 bryophytes (liverworts, hornworts, and mosses). All plants are photosynthetic, utilizing carbon dioxide, water and light energy to produce oxygen and sugars.
