A mossy branch with benefits

Back in early July I needed to pick-up Andrew after a fishing adventure (his, not mine) and parked right next to a downed tree with a lot of moss on it. Our weather had been dry, so the moss was dormant, I grabbed some anyway figuring it would green-up with watering. There was one piece that was attached to a short bit of branch, I laid it here, at the base of our fence and as the moss started to turn green fern fronds started to unfurl...

At first there was just one...

But then others started to appear.
I believe this is our native Polypodium glycyrrhiza, aka Licorice fern. This fern goes dormant in the summertime, but reappears with the rains in the fall, it's often seen growing on the branches of trees. The tall metal rectangle is planted with a Holboellia coriacea 'Cathedral Gem'.It's growing up this piece of expanded metal, but not showing any signs of flowering.
