Have you seen this fern?

What they have done in the book is described one type of this fern as being upright etc, but they have pictured another type, they often do this in gardening books and I agree it can be confusing!!

Hi Val,

Isn't that a bit naughty of them to do that Anyway, at least you & the rest have pointed me in the right direction

Thanks

 

Here is a flickr photo link... looks upright on this pic

That's an interesting fern.
Not changing the subject, but changing the fern, I bought a Japanese fern lately. Lovely grey/purple metalic looking leaves. Trouble is it expired after a couple of weeks ! I have it in a nice shady area with another fern close by so I don't think the position was wrong. But I have noticed in garden centres that this actual fern now looks so tatty that I wouldn't dream of buying it. I wonder if it is quite new to garden centres ?
