Hi,
When teaching a basic gardening class, I've always included a spore sowing project. If I hadn't collected enough, I'd order Onoclea sproes through Prairie Moon. Problem is that they no longer carry any spores. Class is in 2 weeks. Anyone know where I can buy some? Thank you!

You can get a variety of fern spores through the American Fern Society, www.amerfernsoc.org. I don't know if they have Onoclea offhand, but seems likely.

Try this seedhouse. Gardens north. If I did this right (always questionable) it should take you right to the fern section.

It's a Canadian company, though, and Onoclea was not among their offerings. You might ask, though. They might have it, but it eluded their 2006 catalogue.

Hi, I've just started selling fern spore from my site. I only have 4 rare Taiwan tree fern species so far, but hope to have a sizable list of species by the end of the year.
The species I have spore from right now are:
Cyathea fenicis
Cyathea lepifera
Cyathea podophylla
Cyathea spinulosa

We have details and pictures linked from the shop listings from the link below.
Regards,
Phil
