Fond of Fronds

Some tropical ferns from the glasshouse at Wisley.

 

A Japanese Shield Fern, now planted.

 

A lovely species @NigelJ . I moved it from an area that was too dry (close to a massive Bramley apple) and as a reward I got months of striking copper young foliage.

 

Lovely @micearguers - it goes on my list of "I want it but where can I put it?"

 

@BB3 last year you had a small fern seeded into a rose. Did you manage to extract it and pot it on? I had one too; these are pictures from last year and how it is now. Still a small fern (and I'd like it to acquire a deeper green), but quite busy making a crown of fronds.

 

Here it is - whatever it is. Probably a dryopteris@micearguers

 

Looks in very good health @BB3!

 

Thank you. Benign neglect seems to work.

 

Polypodium calirhiza "Sarah Lyman" this comes from California/Oregon and it loses it's leaves in summer and then reshoots in autumn.


Polypodium cambricum "Pulcherrimum Addison" a British native originally from near Morcambe

 

A first for me; I often do a round of the garden in the evening, this time I found two newts conducting some sort of business on a fern (I think Polypodium cambricum).

 

That's cool @micearguers !
