I looked at the picture but it was WAY too small to see anything.

Too small for me too. I tried "set as background" but that didn't work either - blows it up too much.

Thanks guys.
Sorry about the small picture ... I just couldn't make it larger. Fortunately, I was at Home Depot today and saw the same fern. it's Silver Leaf Ferm. Now, does anyone have its botanical name?

Silver Leaf Fern usually refers to one of the Cretian Brake Ferns, Pteris cretica 'Victoriae'. Check link to see if that is the one you have.

Here is a link that might be useful: Pteris cretica
