Okay, this is the last one of these for a bit. I'm running out of new ferns and my existing ones aren't putting out much growth right now! But this is one of my favourites, and it's definitely the Little Fern That Could.
This is Athyrium niponicum pictum "Ursula's Red". I bought it in honour of my best friend, who fortunately enough happens to be called Ursula. I actually got two plug plants, but one of them went into my bottle garden and hasn't done at all well. The larger one, however, remained in a pot in my growhouse (having survived some squirrel attacks it was happier removed from the vicious rodents' reach). And doesn't it look good?
It's finally getting that red stem, and hopefully some of the colour will deepen over the next year.
