Lovely. I have one of those ferns (2nd and 3rd pictures from the end) in my front garden. The leaves are quite battered, but suddenly it has lots of new ones waiting to unfurl. My mind has gone blank as to what it's called.
ReplyDeleteIt's Asplenium scolopendrium - harts tongue fern CJ Are the tatty leaves last year's growth as I always cut that off in spiong

ReplyDeleteMe too SandD I never tire of them

ReplyDeleteIt does especially as there is no background to distragt, Daphne
DeleteGreat photos! Ferns make for an interesting photo shoot, great looking plants.
ReplyDeleteThey do Kelli

ReplyDeleteFor some reason that one reminds me of cobras rearing up, Jo
DeleteI just love all those fronds, how very magical and inspiring.xxx
ReplyDeleteI find them to be fascinating, Dina
DeleteFerns! They look really awesome in the photos! I do have few of them in the pot! They make a good collection!
ReplyDeleteDo they like your climate, Malar?
