Gorgeous little lady fern this week: Athyrium filix-femina "Frizelliae", the tatting fern.
It's referred to as a Jurassic Park escapee, so I felt it was only right that I recapture it. It can revert, and I've had a couple of fronds coming up looking like regular lady fern fronds rather than the macramé-like ropes.
I've hung it and an Athyrium otophorum up on the fire escape support post to try to disguise it a bit:
I need to get me some of those hooks that will hold it fairly straight (although at the moment I only need to water the top fern as it seeps through to the bottom one as an impromptu water feature). In fact, I'm going to have to put a trellis up on the wall soon, I think, and start hanging ferns up there.
