Volunteers Ferns On The Wind


I'm not sure what it is about this pot it seems to be a breading pot for ferns, for the third time I have have had volunteer ferns sprout in it. It is situated at the far end of the ferny and is the furthermost pot from the ferns and has a chain of hearts growing in it. There appears to be at least five different fern types including maidenhair fern now growing in the pot this time. This pot is the only pot in the ferny that has a cover of moss also growing in it. About six months ago I emptied this pot washed all the old potting mix and moss off the chain of heart bulbs and re-potted the bulbs back into the same pot. Once sprouted I lift the ferns out and plant in the garden where they thrive. Go figure!!!!




What a bounty is little 10 inch pot yielded five different fern types and a total of 14 baby ferns. All now picked out and re-planted into separate pots.
