RE: Fern question

Hi Chris,   I just looked at your picture and it looks like the common "Lady
Fern" that spores itself around and comes up everywhere here!  I consider
them a weed and pull them out except the 2 or 3 I allow to grow in my fern
border.  Now I wish I could get my Japanese Painted Fern to do that!
