I'm very curious picture of your ferns. Please show it to us
I love the North American ferns. Some can grow in Poland where is zone 6. Unfortunately, some species such as Dryopteris fragrans, Polystichum scopulinum or Pellaea glabella  I can not get anywhere for years.

I love woodsia species. In my country growing two species, Woodsia ilvensis and Woodsia alpina.

Olga, do you grow some of these ferns in your garden? The walking fern, is it Asplenium rhizophyllum or ruprechtii?
Btw if anybody has spores or pieces of any of those I am interested in swapping  or buying!

If you are interested in hardiness I have the info that the tripteron survives well since ten years here in mid-Sweden (Örebro). A surprice since it originally came from just north of Kyoto. I have never looked for spores but I will if you ask me.

Yes.  :) Only Ophioglossum is shoot in the nature. Others are mine. And it's only the 1/10 of my ferns. I like them very much.

It's Asplenium rhizophyllum from Far East.

I gather spores sometimes. You know why I don't send them.  :-\

Olga, your images are as beautiful as ever (and I am certain your spores will be very eagerly requested).   :D

Yes, I do ask you, Göte, will you look for spores ;)

Well, I am not sure but probably because i haven't asked and you do not have my address!?

I can't compete with Olga's pictures but here are two from today, sorry for the bad quality but even with a cloudless sky the light level is bad:

I am not sure what this one is. It is evergreen and has an underground creeping rhizome.

Although Adiantum capillus-veneris(?) is evergreen the fronds are lying on the ground now due to the heavy rain the last weeks.

Olga,
I have just been looking at this topic again and your image of Polystichum tripteron is outstanding.  Have we already enquired which camera and lens you use?

Thank you all!  8)

Trond, I am afraid we are not allowed to send/receive seeds, spores or plants from/to here.  :-\ I send seeds occasionally when go abroad. It happens not as often as I want.

Thank you Cliff. Yes. Many times.  :)
I use Canon 40D with 4 glasses:
100/2.8 macro
50/1.4 for portraits (and it's my favorite lens at all)
10-22/4.5 for landscapes
70-200/4 for animals

As for Polystichum tripteron it's very attractive only leaves unrolling moment. After it become usual fern. I've never even photographed it.
