Dwarf Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina 'Minutissimum')
A nice tight compact version of the very popular bigger sister,standing about 12 inches tall and wide. I like this gem of the garden.

'I Like that Plant'
Tattered pages of the American horticultural dictionary removed from the shelf again. Coldest day of the year, to dream of green and warmth at night .Looking for, learning of, that new plant I have not had the pleasure to have known. All torn, eared, back is broken too, pages falling to the ground looking for that 'Scotch tape' to mend a few. I know it is in here I remember the name.. name cro.... I Think? There... here it is! Dam it's Zone 2.

'A Better Life Threw Cultivation'

'The Lion Grotto at Dewstow' 1890's UK.
I want to make one of these in my Garden how cool would that be. I have picked out a location to put it and I think I can use it to help water the other parts of the garden also. I live on a hill I think the bedrock my be as deep as 20 feet that is pretty deep. I hope I hit it at 12 feet to build the walls on. Well we will see next week I will start should be in the 50's ,now it is only 8F out Burrrr. I can't wait to get started, but that will pass after moving 2 or 3 tons of earth with a shovel and a wheel barrel.

'Japanese beech fern'
Z 4-10 Height 12-24 Bright green ,vigorous growth a good choice for a groundcover, it is slow to spread never being invasive, like a ostrich fern.
Great for a rock walls ,alpine, woodland gardens, a nice colony in moist or dryer conditions.
