Ragtag Daily Prompt Tuesday: Fern
One of my favourites, a Five Fingered Jack Fern. They grow anywhere cool and damp. They just suddenly appear in the garden

Little Maiden Fair Fern grow in the gullies. There used to be a whole east facing side of the gully that was covered in Maiden Hair Fern. I’ll have to try and get there and see if it has come back a bit since the fire

This weird looking beast is an air fern. They just grow on wood – trees, fence posts and even pieces of fallen bark. An Epiphyte as is the next fern

Another fern that just appears. First as a small green flat leaf and over time just branch out. This one bought along a host of others, a Fishbone Fern (a nuisance) and a Hares Foot Fern to start life on a palm tree

Nice acid soil plants. The last picture, in Swedish Älghornsbräken I have had as an indoor potted plant, it is very nice and fun to see a picture of it growing wild.

Thank you. Elk horns – Älghornsbräken – grow quite big I cannot image one as a potted plant indoors

Yes it can be big, but not so big in a pott.

Your last photo looks a lot like our Staghorn ferns. Not the delicate ones I am used to seeing.

Staghorns and Elkhorns are much the same species. Elkhorns have lots of drooping fronds

Some of these look familiar, but I guess your native ferns are not our native ferns.

Probably not but many would be distant cousins 🙂
