Athyrium niponicum

@Michael Skorulski: I hope the new fronds will get as beautiful as the old ones - this was its first winter outdoors with only minimal protection. Until now, I'm quite optimistic :)

@Ina: I purchased a second one with different tones and I'm looking forward to more beautiful fronds like this one :)

@Jen: Thanks, Jen, glad you like it!

@Melissa: Yes, a beautiful fern, not just 'green'! Thank you!

@lucie: At the moment, new fronds are emerging. I'm very glad about this :-)

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks, Ronnie, glad you like it! I wished we were blessed with ferns as your country is! If you're interested in some spore exchange, let me know... :-)

@Michael: Hab mich ja schon am Wochenende darauf gefreut, bald mit neuen Fotos loslegen zu können, da wird es wieder saukalt und ich konnte vorgestern meine Farne wieder mit Vlies überziehen. Grmbl. Bald! :-)

@MaryB: Thank you very much, Mary! Ferns are my passion, the Victorian fern craze would have been the right era for me :-) Ferns combine beauty, archaic growth patterns (very interesting math here - I'm computer scientist), and a very interesting biology, they immediately draw my attention.

@Brites: Thanks Brites, much appreciated!

@Scotfot: It definitely is. Thanks for dropping by!

@JoeB: I have another fern with bluish tones. Hope we'll get better weather soon, then I'll show you that one :)

@Twelvebit: Another two, three weeks and it will be fully recovered with fresh fronds. Photo session is already booked :)

@Japanalia: Macros that I have shot without a tripd are often a little bit blurry, so I enhanced contrast and definition here. Glad you like it!

@drphoto: Thank you, Dan, glad you enjoy it!

@Magda: A happy fern that fortunately came back with wonderful new fronds a few weeks ago.
