Author Message   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Sunday, May 29, 2005 - 05:55 pm EST :    Behind my property lies an area that is somewhat wet. We don't go back there often because of mosquitoes but here are some of the ferns growing back there in the wild Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Whis4ey  My Garden Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 07:23 am EST :    I love 'ferny' areas I have built myself a fernery a couple of years back. Apparently these were very popular in Victorian times in the UK Whis4ey - Antrim, Zone "6/7"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 07:56 am EST :    Thanks Sam. I can't take any credit for this area, mother nature did this. It is like another world when you step into it from the more manicured garden and see these large ferns and large skunk cabbage (that is what those large plants that look almost like a hosta are called here). Maybe some day if I get enough primroses in my garden I could put some back there too.

Similar areas in our climate also have saw palmettos and sabal minor palms. I have a small collection of ferns. Holly ferns, autumn ferns, shield ferns, maidenhairs, painted, Tree fern and a mother fern. My mom was named Fern & I think of her often when I sit in my 'mental health' swing near the shade garden.

Treelover - County Durham, Zone "8/9"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, June 04, 2005 - 08:50 am EST :    I am not 100% sure but I think the first is Matteuccia struthiopteris (Ostrich Fern) The third one is Osmunda cinnamomea (Cinnamon Fern) The middle one I don't know at all, maybe NY fern?
