Fern Time

This fern's been growing here the entire almost 50 years I've lived here. It's particularly green this year. It grows parallel to the roots of a giant white oak tree. The trunk in the background is about a 10" white pine.

1. Lovely! Do you know what type of fern it is?

I live in New Orleans and Boston Fern has run wild in my sideyard. Our zone is almost tropical so ferns and other plants, that should be annuals, actually function as perennials here. Every 5 or 6 years we will get a cold spell that will kill the foliage on the ferns but they always come back. They have formed a sort of ground cover in the sideyard. I love them.

2. I have no idea what type of fern. It's just always been there, remains same size every year

After looking online. I think it's a Cinnamon Fern. Thanks for the NO update. I had no idea they grow all year in the south.

It is very pretty. I'd love to be at my desk, looking through a window at this fern.

It's out by the driveway. My window views are .. meh, nothing special. Nice to see your post, btw. The What's for Dinner? lady. My dinners are too monotonous to bother with anymore.
