I love ferns! blame it on my ignorance or the fact that ive lived in Washington state all my life, but I didn't realize ferns were a part of the Nebraska landscape. fence looks good!
my favorite fern; Japanese Painted Fern: pic from last summer in our "Hodge Podge" shade garden.
these grow like weeds here at my place. native Western Sword Ferns: the two in the pic taken three days ago haven't quite unfurled all the way yet. once they do they'll be nearly 7 feet across and 4 feet tall.
