Debra, love the colors here in the fern.  Love "heart fo the matter comment" have a great and successful week.

Nice shot.

I read through the comments, too.

Marchel has to remember that all plants grew outside before we had houses. Over in the East Texas Piney Woods there are lots of ferns growing wild, as well as lots of other unusual plants.

For June - All ferns have fiddleheads. Some are just more pronounced than others. For example, here's a fiddelhead from an Australian tree fern:

For Mary - If your fern dries out, you either are not watering it enough or you have it in a drafty location. To keep them moist, you can do three things:

1. Put some sphagnum moss on the soil to help prevent excessive evaporation.
2. Put the pot in a larger pot plate, put some decorative pebbles in the pot plate, and then fill the pot plate with water. Don't do this with red clay pots. In fact, don't plant your ferns in red clay pots because they are porous, letting the soil dry out too quickly.
3. Group house plants together to provide a better micro-environment with better humidity.

Our wonderful plant geneticists have come up with some drought tolerant varieties, and there actually are some ferns that grow in full sunlight.

@ Russell -- I missed this great info, so thank you very much. I would love to try to have ferns inside again!
