Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

Need a fern ID

16 years ago

I have three ferns that I rescued from the trash. I am hoping someone will recognize what they are. I have tried myself, but cannot seem to find photos on the web that look like what I have.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
top one looks like what we call sword fern, nephrolepsis var, or may be a var. of boston. Next 2 looks like polypodium glauca(by the bluey colour) and third one very similar polypodium possibly mandianum which has frilleir fronds
