Holding their own

The variegated fern leaves more than held their own in the competition for my attention as they mingled with the poinsettias. This was a case of the whole effect of the combination of plants being more than the sum of their parts.

I believe the fern is Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata 'Tiger')

Here's the source image.

This makes a clever combination for a floral decor at holiday time. The flowing pattern of the fern compliments the angular features of the poinsettia. Wonderful banner.

There's something Victorian about Boston ferns. One imagines them in parlors, as a background to afternoon tea. I love the graceful arch of fern against the velvet red of Pointsettia.
