Rock ferns

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.

Woodsia ilvensis in my garden



My very young ferns

My five cents.  

Ophioglossum vulgatum at Caucasus


Cheilanthes argentea seedlings


Adiantum pedatum


Polystichum tripteron


Walking fern

[Hoy]

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!

Olga, do you grow some of these ferns in your garden?

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.

Olga, do you grow some of these ferns in your garden?

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.

The walking fern, is it Asplenium rhizophyllum or ruprechtii?

It's Asplenium rhizophyllum from Far East.

Btw if anybody has spores or pieces of any of those I am interested in swapping  or buying!

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).

Indeed!

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?

[johnw]

Is Adiantum reniforme at all hardy?  It has a most bizarre range and I wonder if the Chinese form is grown outdoors by anyone.  I first saw it pictured in a Chinese book.

Quite delicious : http://www.google.ca/imgres?q=Adiantum+reniforme&hl=en&client=safari&sa=X&rls=en&biw=1907&bih=996&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=3UnjiKPUd9brwM:&imgrefurl=http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxonimage/id111472/%3Ftaxonid%3D337381&docid=1fihgnezIisg4M&imgurl=http://www.biolib.cz/IMG/GAL/111472.jpg&w=640&h=480&ei=KNz9Tr_NJoPg0QGc_5XJAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1358&vpy=288&dur=3309&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=168&ty=103&sig=108555958299811865620&page=1&tbnh=123&tbnw=163&start=0&ndsp=63&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:0

Thank you all!  

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

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.

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 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.

Blechnum penna-marina?

[annew]

I think so too.
