Celebrity Organisms - Lady Gaga Ferns

I was so excited to find out that there are fern species named after Lady Gaga that I had to research it more - and found a great article that I will link below:

NBC article on Lady Gaga Fern Species

So great.  The prothallus of a fern has both male and female parts (antheridium and archegonium), which, scientifically is called "bisexual".  So, I guess that Lady Gaga is a perfect fit?!  Read the article to find out the details...

Here is a picture of Lady Gaga looking very much like a prothallus.  Coincidence?
