Re: crocodyllus

Reggie,

I have noticed that old perennial cultivars often reappear at my local garden center as NEW THIS YEAR if they have not been sold there in the past couple of years.  Less experienced gardeners may not know the difference, and it gets their attention, as it once did mine!  Of course they are still good cultivars, so I guess it is a small deception.

This Microsorum is in circulation.  I am still puzzled as to how a  well 
established species, Microsorum musifolium, became a "new" fern.  This  
"crocodyllus" is of tissue culture origin, and appears to be a stronger, less  fussier 
plant.
