Re: Epimedium/ now Hellebores

Tell me about "Ursla's Red" painted fern.  Latin name and where to see them
and perhaps find them for purchase.

I have a beautiful cross between the Japanese painted fern and the "painted
fern" called Athyrium "Branford Beauty."   As large as a Japanese, some of
the red in the stems, haunting light blue grey fronds.  Shows up very well
in the distance too, which is what I wanted.

Thanks!

Diann
