In the UK the Ostrich Fern is known as the Shuttlecock Fern as it resembles a badminton "ball".It's such a lovely pure light green when young.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-5198479408980118272008-05-24T07:01:00.000-04:002008-05-24T07:01:00.000-04:00Rose .. it can be disappointing with mail order co...Rose .. it can be disappointing with mail order companies (the look of the poor little root) .. having said that .. there are some great companies out there that stand behind their product and will replace plants that didn'tcome through. I have had that as well.

I bought some ferns last fall from one of those mail order companies that send you a little root wrapped in dirt,but they didn't come up this spring. They're sending me free replacements, though, so we'll see if I have better luck. (I haven't won the lottery either, so I'm trying to find the cheapest way to grow them.)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-11938055017957966792008-05-22T17:23:00.000-04:002008-05-22T17:23:00.000-04:00'ben" ... you have to have the red head too !
