That's a beauty, Gaylyn. I love the shape of the leaves. they look so healthy. It seems you have the perfect environment for ferns.

I didn't bring it in last winter and it died back. I thought it was a goner! Happily it came back. Normally our winters are so mild that they can't be called winters, but we had several nights that it got into the 20's and that got it. I don't have a green house and hate to bring plants inside with all the bugs and such!!

Well, Glenda, I think it is a fern!! Guess we will have to do something about this situation!!!Split them up!! The bracket you see in the picture is going on a tree tomorrow. Hopefully it will start growing over the edge soon. I bought the fern last summer at a yard sale for $2.00 and it was huge!!
