Mine are looking excellent, even at this time of year! They're always top performers, right alongside the Western swordfern - in fact, I alternate them to create a fern border to the lawn. I recommend them to folks with dry, oak woodland conditions. I think I have about twenty of these tucked here and there (I started to count this morning, but I got distracted somewhere between the backyard and the front).

I also have a young fern that I started from a frondless crown this spring. I think I'll keep this one in a pot. In the first pic (below), you should be able to see more little fronds unfurling from the crown.

And here's the same fern, earlier this year, pictured with a Goldback fern, Pentagramma triangularis (another one of our natives).

If any of you have pics or experiences to share, please do! At the very least, thanks for stopping by and looking!
