I have a plant that is fern like in leaf structure but the leaves are not fern shaped... it has trailing things coming off it with more leaves growing on them. Can anyone help me identify it? I am currently trying to figure out how to upload a picture. Thank you!

thank you on it!
I think that's Potentilla anserina, silverweed. The manner of growth you describe sounds right as well.
Also think it may have been renamed and now called Anserina something, maybe argentina

Wait for a second opinion kirst but that's what it looks like to me.
A suitable reward for nicking someone else's plant I think

Kirsty, if your OH liked it, buy him a Japanese Painted Fern and encourage his interest in plants. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/athyrium-niponicum-var-pictum/classid.1813/
My OH didn't like gardening, but showed a bit of interest in sempervivums - I filled a pot with them and put them on the terrace by his studio window - now he's gradually developing a real interest in plants ........ softly softly catchee monkey
