I've always loved ferns and I am slowly building a small collection. I'm having to move the odd badly sited specimen but nothing has died yet. I love them with moss and drippy, trickly water. The sound is important. Not damp enough here unfortunately. Drippy, trickly water is achievable, though. Isn't there a thing you can do with yoghurt to grow moss?
Dryopteris lepidopoda, sometimes referred to as the 'sunset fern'. The green fronds are last year's, left on to offer some protection until the new fronds have grown.
The colour is similar @Papi Jo but the fern itself is different. The fronds don't have the long stipe that lifts the erythrosora fronds above the ground, and I find that here the new fronds of d.lepidopoda can be caught by a late frost. Both beautiful at this time of year. There's so much variety in ferns!
