I'd like to see it.
For someone who is pro-science I'll happily post the whole thing if you can tell me how to upload it or freepmail it or whatever would work.
Otherwise: here's a summary:
Ferns reproduce by making spores which drift about then land on moist ground and grow into small structures called prothalli (one of them is a prothallus).
On the prothallus there grow other structures which produce the gametes, which fuse and produce a new fern plant (called a sporophyte)

and here's a picture of a fern life cycle:

Now what?
The big deal is to get that pro-thallus onto the fern frond so in drier evironments it has a chance to grow. This happened with the now extinct seed ferns. I'll do those in the next post.
