RE: fern id

Hi Marge-

I'm in zone 8-9 just south of Sacramento, CA.  This is indeed my fern (or at
least from the pictures it looks like it).  I just went outside to see if it
is still there and it is!  So, yeah!.  We did have a really mild winter this
year.  I guess I'll leave it alone and see if it grows this summer.  Now if
it would just stop raining and warm up again!  It's really windy and even
cold (relatively speaking of course- 50 degrees).  We were supposed to get
our house painted today- well maybe by the end of this week it'll stop
raining.

Well, Theresa, having a memory like a sieve, I can't recall where you
are...know I know it, but it won't come to the brain.  Anyway, if you
get any frost and it returns, it's not a rabbit foot...they don't
take frost as far as I know.

I put up some scans of my fern when I was trying to ID it...page is
still up there if you want to take a peek to see if your fern
resembles mine.

Consensus on fernet  is that it is Davallia trichomanoides.
