This is the Shuttlecock or Ostrich fern. It's a deciduous fern so the fronds completely go in winter.  It now awakening, the slugs and snails shouldn't bother this one, it's a native. |

This is one in habitat from this morning's preamble. The sun just happened to be in the right position so a photo had to be taken.  Height 75cm (30") and more to go. Not the largest one there but definitely the one with the best lighting  |

A great fern for sure, always good to see a large specimen.

A potted one still in its winter location down in the fernery.  Do you ever wonder where it got its common name from?  |

Yes, it does resemble an elongated version of that badminton projectile that gets batted about.

The young croziers are now showing. There are another four young ferns in the pot also so it must be happy with its treatment.  |
