Two years ago I bought a flully ruffles or boston type ferm. At the end of each frond, a little pendulum, fan shaped, would develop. It was a very graceful fern. Grew 2+ feet high and same width. I can't find it again. I believe it was a hybridized annual fern. Can you help me to determine what it's named so I can locate another one, please?
There are many crested ferns. I am nor sure what is available to you in USA. One I know is called Dryopteris dilatata Grandiceps. It has a large crest at the head of the frond. http://www.farn-gaertnerei.de/images/Dryopteris_dilatata_Grandiceps_3DvVIII04.jpg Dryopteris filix-mas Grandiceps Wills. has smaller crests. http://www.krischanphoto.com/gardens/fern/d fm grandiceps wills.jpg You could google "Fern nurseries" and scroll through a few catalogues. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&tbs=isch:1 http://www.fibrex.co.uk/hardyforeign_ferns.asp?CategoryID=4
