fern

Another backyard corner ... I love this fern.  I've known it as long as I've known Alice - some thirteen and a half years; it moved from Hoover Street with us - where it used to live in the little back court.  Somehow, it kept going through the various not-very-plant-oriented tenants we had there.  It's the most Victorian plant that we have (indeed, why don't we have more ferns?  There's one that I bought this summer, in the front yard ...but I think that's it ... time for some more ...).  Indeed - I find I've missed, by a month, the Los Angeles International Fern Society Show and Sale ... but they do have a web site with some very useful fern tips ...
