Hi, Rika.  Another nice one is Asplenium scolopendrium; it may not look
much like a fern, but looks good with the lacier types.  It is supposed to
be hardy only to Zone 7, but I have found that a mulch of straw, loose
enough to let the sun peek through onto the evergreen fronds, will keep it
alive in southwestern Michigan.

I am thinking of buying a Weeping Buckler Fern.  It has an intriguing
catalogue description, but I've never actually seen one.  Have any of you
seen this fern?  What does it look like (in the opinion of an owner, rather
than a catalogue writer!)?
