The fern frond exhibit style presents a bold purple, red and yellow-orange colour mix, as well as showing the leaves that stem from the frond. To celebrate this day and the photo's selection, the photo was brought forward to the Explore takeover day's date.

In sum, this PhotoArt Series was shot at the Mount Coot-tha Botanic Gardens (Brisbane, Australia).
