Friday Fern #29

This is a cute little fern I picked up last year. It was sold as "Pteris Mix" (I'm sure some of the more supermarket-y garden centres think that's an acceptable label for any fern they can't be bothered to identify). But as you can see from the photo, I think it's a form of Adiantum raddianum:


This one is coming back from the dead, as I kept it as a houseplant and sort of "forgot" to water it... I am continually amazed by the whole Adiantum genus' ability to resurrect itself.

Edit: Yeah, just had to reset the image URL as there was a lovely but irrelevant photo of the pond rather than the fern...
