    I cant remember the name of the plant. I'm looking for a plant that my husband's mother favorite plant and she grew up with.

    I will try my best to describe the plant:

    The leaf: it curl up first as it sprout but it will uncurl and it open up, then the leaf will open up.

    Color: It is green and/or dark green.

    My head keeps telling me it a Wood Fern or something like that but cant find it in the internet. I did saw it at the store but it was long time ago. (like 5 or 6 years ago). It's fun to watch as the leaf uncurl and open up the leaf to make a pretty leaf. It looks like a fern leaf shape to me when I saw it.

    Do know what it is?

    Nooo... it more like a ring curl at the beginning and when its roll out slowly, the leave start to grow out and form a leave.

    I wish I can find a picture of it but the picture is in my head.

    Nooooo... it more like dark green color I believe. When its uncurl out, the side of the stem grow little leaf on both side and to look like a fern type as they grow. Ok, it almost like a catarpiller upside down and the legs stick out when the new leaf grows. Im trying my best to get a picture in my head. ha ha ha... Thanks for trying to help me. I'm not giving up.
