Author Message   Goswimmin  My Weather My Garden Posted on Friday, February 17, 2006 - 07:28 pm EST :    I have quite a few fern in my yard that stay green all winter. Most of them are the native Christmas Fern. This fern is called the East Indian Holly Fern. I have had it for several years now and the growth is extremely slow. It has several shades of green both light and dark in it's leaves. Mary Goswimmin - Georgia, Zone "7b"   Zephirine  Posted on Friday, February 17, 2006 - 11:34 pm EST :    Lovely indeed, Mary ! The shades of green in it must give light to a shady place! Would you know its latin name too, by any chance? For if I ask my perennial nursery for a "Fougere sacree des indes orientales", I'll lose consideration there, I'm afraid ! lol... Though I now you wrote "hoLLy", and not "holy", I like this idea of a "sacred fern", its fronds dedicated to fan the statue of some pagan forest god on the warm , humid days in the ruins of an ancient temple in the deepest of a wild indian jungle ... hmmm...

This should be the botanical name. Mary Goswimmin - Georgia, Zone "7b"   Michelelee  My Weather My Time Posted on Saturday, February 18, 2006 - 07:14 pm EST :    I love the yellow. It brightens it up. This one will be going on 'the list'. Very nice. Michelelee - WA, Zone "7-8"
