Right: looks like a fern but not fern (just my trip to put here)
Asparagus fern (Asparagus plumosa)
Not a fern but relative of the asparagus vegetable
Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus)
Top view looks like a nest, but birds don't make nests there
Tree Fern (Cyathea spp.)

I love the way fern fronds uncurl - those in your tree fern picture look like three small furry mammals huddled in conversation!
ReplyDeleteFerns are fantastic plants, they add so much character to any garden :)
ReplyDeleteFerns are beautiful. I love the many varieties you share today. Happy New Year, Andrea. May 2012 be a good one for you.
ReplyDeleteI like to photograph ferns as well. You did a great job photographing the various kinds of ferns.
ReplyDeleteBet you do have some gorgeous ferns in your tropical area, Andrea. We see ferns when we hike back in the mountains--especially in damp, wet areas.
ReplyDeleteI love ferns and once had a fern hanging basket.. It was pretty --but didn't last through the winter even though I took it inside...
Hugs,
Betsy
These are beautiful ferns -- even though some of them are not really ferns. I really like the Bird Nest Fern.
