that is a very interesting plant. Does it grow naturally that way or is it planted?

It occurs naturally that way. It is quite astonishing.

Beautiful too !

I'm not sure that's the same shoestring fern as I've seen...all the ones here that have been pointed out to me look like little plastic green strings? I posted a picture of what I've been told is Vittaria lineata...

I did some looking into this plant and totally agree that it is not shoestring fern. I have also contacted the admins , but they said they would let Hetty (Dutchlady1) move it , so we will just hope she finds the correct name for the pretty plant and moves or deletes it fore accuracy sake

I would LOVE to know what this is, however!!! I want it!

Great photo of Drynaria rigidula
@Dutchlady1 Hetty I can delete the V. lineata photo if you want.

Yes, I believe Hetty will concur with that decision!

Kate,
Your photos look more like a match for Whisk Fern (Psilotum nudum)

Thanks for sorting that out. I merely repeated what I had been told about the plant and should have done my homework before posting the picture.

Hetty, are these readily available these days?

I have only seen it once.

Thanks.

Dirtdorphins, you are right!!!! Oh dear!!! We need to move my pictures then to that entry!!! How do we go about this?

I moved them Kate.

Thanks Evan. We sorted out a few things here, didn't we! Thanks to everyone's wisdom on this.
