        A lovely species @NigelJ . I moved it from an area that was too dry (close to a massive Bramley apple) and as a reward I got months of striking copper young foliage.

            @BB3 last year you had a small fern seeded into a rose. Did you manage to extract it and pot it on? I had one too; these are pictures from last year and how it is now. Still a small fern (and I'd like it to acquire a deeper green), but quite busy making a crown of fronds.

              Thank you. Benign neglect seems to work.
