Does anyone know the names of ferns that grow in the sun? My neighbor gave me a start of hers but has since moved and didn't get the name of them. Do know they aren't Kimberly Queens. They are delicate looking, usually 12-18 inches tall and on the lighter shade of green. As soon as I learn how to post pictures I'll add one.lol.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!
