First sign of natural regeneration at Seward Park's Ground Zero

Three fringecup plants (Tellima grandiflora if I am not mistaken) have popped up close to each other near the western edge of Seward Park's ground zero.   This is the first regeneration I have seen in the five years since the dominant sword fern community died in this quarter acre.   Here is one of the three.

    Yup, that's fringecup. :)

    I just read about the fern die-off. Could these ferns be similar to some bamboos and die every 100 or 1000 years?

    Try to make sure the park is not lit up at night with white-light we know some plants can’t take artificial light at night.
