    Seems we have drawn a blank on this one Shelby, I can't pin it down, presumably evergreen but it it is a species I don't recognise. I will still keep on trying.

    I think it could be one of the Pellaea family. But which one, I don`t know.:)

    I have just been informed by my mother that it is a Boston Fern. Thanks for the help everyone though :)

    Doesn't look like the Boston ferns I have, that's why I didn't suggest it.
