California Polypody is a creeping perennial fern native to coastal California and Baja Mexico. It grows on rocky slopes, cliffs, streambanks and coastal bluffs in part shade to full shade where it receives moisture. The fern spreads via rhizomes and has deltate to ovate leaflets arranged pinnately on compound leaves. It is summer deciduous and dies back completely, relying on underground rhizomes to resprout the following season. California Polypody is well suited for use in shaded rock gardens, as a ground cover, or growing on vertical surfaces like tree bark or rock faces where it adds an old-fashioned woodsy appearance.

Qm polypodium californicum
California Polypody is a creeping perennial fern native to coastal California and Baja California, where it grows in moist rock crevices, seeps, streambanks, and north-facing slopes. It spreads by rhizomes and has deltate to ovate leaflets that can die back completely in summer. Round clusters of spores called sori line the undersides of the leaves in two rows. California Polypody is suitable for rock walls, rock gardens, and other shaded areas, where it adds an old-fashioned look. It needs part shade to full shade and wet feet in winter and early spring, then to dry out in summer.

To ERP or not to ERP
In the mid-market―simplifying an important decision
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business management system that organizations use to track operations and make better decisions. It enables visibility, standardization, efficiency, and collaboration. Still, ERP has a reputation as a mature business application that may only be useful for organizations of a certain size. This is untrue. While ERP can be a substantial undertaking, the benefits to growing businesses should make its implementation a no-brainer. The question for mid-market
organizations should be, “What can ERP do for me?”
