I am just so overwhelm with ferns on this property I cannot make myself to click "like" button even if I like it.
This one is pretty. Are any ferns invasive in your area Bjs?

The three main ones that grow wild in the garden not ones I introduced are
Hard Shield fern =Polystichum Aculeatum ( I think)
Hart's tongue fern = Asplenium Scolopendrium
Polypodium Vulgare
All three of these have to be regularly controlled ,there are about a further twenty five I have introduced one of which ( name escapes me for minute ) travels underground that is a pest but has lovely bronze leaves so bits of it are left.

That is lots of ferns Bjs! They are nice plants they just like our climates too much.

That is a very nice fern, I have a few Dryopteris and they have done very well for me without spreading too aggressively. I was mistaken when I thought that was the variety I was looking for though, there is a variety of ostrich fern called 'the king' as well. I think the one you have is nicer, ostrich ferns can really take over an area!
