Hi
Here in the repetition lies the power, the charm and the beauty.
Spore containers again, and these in hundreds of copies in the image.
A whole battery of cells (sori) of the polypodium fern, with subcells (sporangia) filled with spores.
They are not all the same, well you can see the different stages of maturation, with maturation the green sporangia become yellow.
