Giant sward fern?

mdahms1979
19 years ago

I collected and raised spores from a huge fern that resembled a Nephrolepis cordifolia but with fronds that were about five feet tall. Does anyone know what species of fern this might be? There were several plants for sale in a local greenhouse, it was the first time I had seen this plant and I have not seen it since.
