Thanks, David....
I checked out the PF link you provided--and it sure looks like it...

I don't mind KNOWING names, if someone ID's it, and always write it down on a small slip of paper
which gets put in a little box that sits right by my monitor. Other things this little box holds are
DG people phone #'s and addresses.....I'm always digging for these....

This fern is many years old--and probably needs to be divided. The base of it is "climbing" pretty high up.
So is the other one--on the right in the picture. That is the one I gave you a piece of a couple Swaps ago.
What is the name of that one??? How is it growing?

Any advice on dividing ferns, David? There seem to be 3 big, separate clumps--as it marches on...
Just break, dig up a chunk of it? Pot it up?

Here is a better picture of the one on the right. Gotta go out and take it.....
1--fern on right
2--fern on left--Autumn fern
3--fern by Bird bath--also perennial--small, but it is in my "YUK" bed..so....
4--close-up of the small fern by my BB.


Thanks, Gita
