    What they have done in the book is described one type of this fern as being upright etc, but they have pictured another type, they often do this in gardening books and I agree it can be confusing!!

      That's an interesting fern.
      Not changing the subject, but changing the fern, I bought a Japanese fern lately. Lovely grey/purple metalic looking leaves. Trouble is it expired after a couple of weeks ! I have it in a nice shady area with another fern close by so I don't think the position was wrong. But I have noticed in garden centres that this actual fern now looks so tatty that I wouldn't dream of buying it. I wonder if it is quite new to garden centres ?
