Rescued these ferns from an old home that was going to be bulldozed and made into commercial property several years ago and they seem to like their new home however I'm not sure what they are - I think they look like a typical fern once they mature.

Looks like a red stemmed Lady fern, Athyrium felix-femina. There are green stemmed ones too. I like the red ones better.

Thank you. I was at the Missouri Botanical Garden today and they had many in their woodland garden.
