Image talk:Fiddlehead.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure that this is a picture of the edible fiddlehead of the ostrich fern. I'm not an expert, but after reading various descriptions of what the edible fiddle head looks like on the following web sites, I am under the impression that the ostrich fern's fiddleheads have a flaky, papery covering and not a fuzzy covering. This seems like it may be an inaccurately identified photo.
