Dear Fern Growers:

	As promised, I have asked Thurman Maness about the Athyrium 'Wildwood
Twist'.  His reply is below.  

About the fern= Wildwood Twist= What I did, and I guess it was a silly
childish thing to do, I simply mixed every native and hardy athyrium. I
don't know where Dan got my information as to an otophorum cross. I do
think that the cross involves the ruffly lady fern (and I can't remember the
name) Dan certainly did do a shi..y job showing and describing *Wildwood
Twist*  in his new catalogue. The image looks like a flat of common painted
ferns- stage three and the write-up is just bearly luke warm.
