Although I have transplanted many ferns onto my cottage property I have focused alongside the path it became apparent to me just last year how much of a need for them there was closer to the lawn, where guests spend most of their time.
The evergreen shrubs had not taken off like I had planned, so it was time to accept it and move on and infill with native ferns.
How many of the 10-12 new plants can you spot in this photo?
A different perspective helps to shed light on the gaps.
It certainly demonstrates how easy it is for a landscape to gobble up plants by the dozen and still have room for more.

They are all pretty ferns, I can only see difference in the colors. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteEileen you make a good point, he wood ferns are dark green with non of the 'yellowishness' of the ostrich ferns, which makes for a nice contrast.
