I did lose a couple of ferns over the hard winter but the rest are looking quite lush with all the rain and cool-ish weather we’ve had.  The first to show signs of stress for me are the Japanese Painted Ferns and even they look great.

Venero (the seller of the Adiantum) is the kind of mailorder that washes all the soil from the roots before shipping instead of sending potted plants.  I prefer to pot these up for awhile rather than planting directly into the ground.  I generally do that even with potted M-O plants, too, because it seems  I’m never ready to plant when they arrive.  I still have some new plants and divisions waiting for a couple of months now because the places they need to go are still too wet to work.
