Ferns are a diverse, highly-evolved group of plants, yet they retain many of the characteristics that were present when plants first ventured out of the sea and onto land over 400 million years ago. Ferns are also great plants for indoor and outdoor gardening. There are types that are great for shade gardens, sun gardens, rock gardens, ponds, bog gardens, flower borders, and just about everywhere. Ferns and fern-allies are more complicated in structure than most people would suspect. Their structures, though similar in some ways to those of flowering plants are different enough to warrant a distinctive terminology. It has fronds, rhizomes, roots, sporangiia, spores. For many years, people have used fern fronds to weave household implement such as lower props, baskets and other handicrafts etc. Fronds vary greatly in size, from tree ferns with 12 foot fronds on the mosquito ferns with fronds only 1/16 of an inch long.
Water hyacinth is a tropical floating aquatic plant having spikes of large blue flowers which is abundant in Vietnam. Stalks of water hyacinth are used to weave into products.
