I need to look up that Asplenium, I'm not familiar with it.

No one grow ferns in my valley, and I've heard big horticulturists say that they don;t grow here. In my natral styler, I'm testing a bunch of species of fern, and having success with all but one (and even that one might be coming up now, I won't know until the leaves are more unfurled). When I planted the Dennsteadtia punctobolula (spelling, who knows!?) it went chlorotic and disappeared. I then read that it liked acid. (pH 7.5-8.1 here) The Athyriums are rock-solid tough-as-nails, the Polystichums look promising, and the Dryopteris look good. I dug up a Maidenhair fernlet in a Portland ditch, bringing a seed that sprouted last fall. I ought to photograph this odd plant to get it IDed on DG.

Kenton

Polystichum munitum.
