I seem to be becoming addicted to ferns! This time of year (May) is when ferns look their best, they’ve been busy making new fronds (and influencing people) and they look so fresh. Ferns and Hostas go together well and at the moment are the dominant feature of my garden.
So . . . the picture below is of a group of ferns and Hostas gathered around the trunk of a tree fern, taken 23 May 2010:
The ferns are:
Polystichum polyblepharum, (Tassel Fern) . . . Left front of picture
Dryopteris buschiana, (aka crassirhizoma) . . Left back (left of tree fern trunk)
Polystichum setiferum, ‘Dahlem’ . . . Right back of picture
Athyrium otophorum ‘Okanum’ . . . Right front (only showing a few fronds)
Onoclea sensibilis . . . Centre (only showing a few fronds)
Yes ! Ferns are my favourite plant ! Beautiful picture :)
