Dear Allen,
These guys spread by underground rhizomes that form asexual buds along the length. What fun to have an Ophioglossum is so happy that it is making itself at home!
Congratulations, and I am just a wee bit jealous!

Can anyone help with the domestic habits of the adder's tongue fern? Ever
since Dactylorhiza moved in we have been running our lawn as a wild flower
meadow and now we have adder's tongue too. The problem is that it does not
behave by the book where descriptions show it with a series of ever smaller
buds behind this year's growth. This means it should come up in roughly
the same place each year but it doesn't - it appears in widely differing
places several feet apart. I hesitate to dig to see what is happening,
thought I'd ask first.
