ruweiss:
The extreme hot summer in this year resulted in much damage to the ferns in our
unwatered meadow garden. The plants in the garden by the house look better due to
regular watering.
 Phyllitis scolopendrium spores regulary at several places in the garden
 and some interesting forms appear.
 P.s. Furcatum is from a Dutch Nursery and grows rather slow.
 Davallia canariense is not hardy in our climate.

ruweiss:
Didn't know, that Cheilanthes fendleri develops a wandering habit.

Yann:
furcatum is a gamma irradiated Phyllitis scolopendrium, it's not a natural form, dutch are playing with plants like others with viruses...
It'll be fun to see if in few years it keeps its forks. Under patents with Terra Nova.
Another form with less forked leaves is also in the trade but difficult to source.

ruweiss:
Yann, thank you for your interesting post, sorry, that I didn't find it before.
Ferns are especially valuable in winter time.
Cheilanthes eatonii in the back, Cheilanthes persica at the left and
Pyrrosia lingua at the right.

fermi de Sousa:
Hi Rudi,
nice ferns!
I just saw a pic of the Cheilanthes eatonii in the talk on The Botanics (RBGE) by Petra Palkova for the West of Scotland Group.
What a coincidence!
cheers
fermi
