Dryopteris wallichiana

I'm still on about ferns! This time Dryopteris wallichiana or Wallich's Wood Fern.
This fern's new fronds are just coming up, (photo taken today). The new fronds unfold more than unfurl. Its bright green fronds contrast well with its hairy, black stems.
I grow this fern in almost complete shade and it gets largely hidden by other plants and forgotten. But it is a great joy when you re-discover it amongst all the other planting.
