Here's two of mine...

I also recently acquired these two.. I have 3 specimens of each.

I recently planted a chain fern. The label said it gets 4'-6' tall ... I can't wait!!! I found a giant spot for it to grow..

Here's some nice happy fern in my garden. I think the first is a polystichum plumosomultilobum but not sure about the second one...

your painted is gorgeous Angie
i didn't know they got that big, i need to get a cpl and see if they like my garden

Athyrium 'Ghost' great fern that really pops in my shady area.

Strever- they are not my pics but I do have a dozen of that variety on a berm. You should try them.

Crawgarden- I love ghost ferns! I have 3 of them. I agree they do pop in the shade.

Here's a pic from today of some of my ferns. Got some ghost ferns on the right and Japanese tassel ferns on the left. And a little spottie dotty baby in the middle.

Very nice ferns, Angie.

I agree about all the Japanese painted ferns.

The Japanese painted ferns compliment my hostas and Heucheras
really good.



and The drama of Ostrish ferns are my favorite because in my climate it is the tallest fern I can grow.

I just recently got some tassel ferns (Huperzia). I had a few years ago and managed unfortunately to neglect them to death. Hope I do better this time

My ferns are having a super happy fall. They seem to like the dry fall we've been having and are looking quite handsome.



I'm heading out the the nursery today to scout out some more ferns. Maybe purchase another giant chain fern... I picked up an East Indian fern I'm quite happy with, let me go snap a pic as I don't think I have one yet.

Here's this neat East Indian fern. I really like the two tone colour.



Here's my giant chain fern that could use some more growing. It's pretty baby still...

Here's a mystery fern in my garden. It was a label-less fern in a sea of hundreds of ferns at a specialty nursery.

It's several years old but still quite small.

Angie
your mystery fern looks a lot like my Alaskan fern Polystichum setiferum 'Divisilobum' a soft shield fern and they are very slow growers. mine is 6 years old and only 12 " high
Soft Shield Fern (Polystichum setiferum 'Divisilobum')

Thank-you! It definitely could be as the Soft Shield fern is on the Fraser Thimble's nursery fern product list. They offer 100+ variety of ferns in their catalog so I'm very impressed you picked that one out.
