    1. It's some sort of fern, Leanan maybe Dryopteris affinis Crispa. I'm afraid we got them before we were organised enough ti keep records of varieties. It is very upright when young. I think only the bottom two though are this plant. ferns tend to be softer when they are young and then the frond go stiffer.
