@Alan Clark2 in Liverpool I had one specimen of Coniogramme emeiensis in a pot on my "fern wall", but it now looks like it has not survived the winter. It's one of those ferns I have lost. Funny thing is I lost maybe one third of all specimens, but the remaining two thirds are thriving. No idea why this happened, all my ferns are quite hardy, same cultivation conditions, etc. I've e-mailed the nursery where I bought most of those ferns and am waiting for their answer.
I'm slowly adding specimens to my "pergola-fernery". Latest specimens include Osmunda regalis ‘Purpurascens’ and Onoclea sensibilis, both planted in the ground.
The "fernery". A bit of my "fern wall" is visible to the left.
Osmunda regalis ‘Purpurascens’ just planted.
Unknown species (ID suggestions welcome!). The shuttlecock effect...
Wonderful close-up and foliage texture @Athelas. And great Jurassic sights from your fernery @Papi Jo. The shuttlecock effect is stunning with those fresh fronds. Below I've tried to make a bit of a collage just by playing around with the editing. Hopefully it will work. When I resize the images small enough (in this case 330x330) it seems possible to fit two next to each other. These pictures highlight two areas, one a rockery with some (not a lot) ferns in it, the other a bit of woodland area.
Left Asplenium trichomanes with some Cymbalaria muralis poking through. Right a fresh frond of Polystichum polyblepharum, with groundcover Waldsteinia ternata and probably is Erodium x variabile 'Album' (lower left).
Left soft light falling on Adiantum venustum at the foot of the rockery, Sedum rupestre and Cymbalaris tumbling down. Right Dryopteris cycadina.
Left Dryopteris wallichiana, right Polystichum tsus-simense (Korean rock fern) with another trichomanes.
The rockery acts as a retaing wall on one side. Slightly jumbled look but still it is what I hoped for.

The cool, rainy days have suited my Polystichum polyblepharum quite well, I’ve never seen them happier and greener

Sorry I don't seem to be able to rotate the pic the right way up.
