I don't know what to think about a fern that tricks me into thinking it is a grass... Undecided

You think, 'Wow, that is sooo cool!' of course.

Any chance of A. septentrionale spores in the seedex soon?
Lis, still interested in spores?

BTW, here is a strange one I found:

Yes, very interested! Does your strange one show any signs of fruiting?

Tim, a belated response, but I do like the Woodsia species very much, must add some to the garden.

Adiantum pedatum is a joy to watch as the fronds unfurl, I love the pattern of airy filigree leaves as they first expand.

Hoy, your strange one looks more like Adiantum than Asplenium,  although no idea which one

Harold, I agree to that but no Adianum is native to Norway and the place I found them is very far from any garden.

Lis, I have some spores now and two small plants also. Please PM me!
The strange one had signs of sori but they looked rather empty. I'll keep an eye on it!

Mark, I have one small clump of A pedatum in my garden but wanted more! Now I have a big box full of prothalliums Wink

It doesn't look like an Adiantum to me, sorry. The Aspleniums, on the other hand, are much inclined to hybridize so I would suspect the 'strange one' of being a hybrid. And many Aspleniums do have fan-shaped pinnules which also fits. Whatever it is, it is most interesting!

Ferns must be amongst the most beautiful plants as their fronds unfurl in spring - even in our relatively dry garden we are growing more and more. At the Chelsea Show every year the fern displays are like a green oasis amongst the sea of colour (especially, in the past, Rickard's stand) - perfect time to display them in mid-May. This is one of the Dryopteris unfurling under the apple trees in the garden. So different to the delicate beauty of the Adiantum.
