Ken: That sounds similar to the floral wire I use as well only mine is 32 gauge, flexible enough that I can tie it in knots. I used to find it at Michael's Craft store but a couple of years ago all I could find there was white and I wanted something more natural that would blend in with the silk flowers on a wreath I was making so I ordered the green cloth wire on line. It came in a box of 12 spools so I have enough that it will still be around when I'm gone LOL. I don't do crafts as much as I used to.
Woofie: Those are great looking ferns, I especially like that Licorice Fern! I have a couple of the Lemon Button Ferns just hanging on by a thread ... they did real well inside but I thought they might like some fresh air so I moved them to the back porch a few months ago and soon forgot about them. They like the humidity out there but they'd still appreciate a bit of water once in awhile.
I am such a bad plant caretaker anymore.
Elaine, yeah not that I look closer I see what you mean about the differences in those two ferns. I know I've seen yours before and do think it might be a native.
Tee: That is such a pretty Birdsnest Fern. I had one for many years that got quite large and lost it to the winter freezes of 2010-2011 and I currently have a small one but it's not looking so good ...
