  • Question

    A photo of that fern I posted a few days badk. Here you can see the bottom of the fern better. Thanks

    Answer

    Dear Sheila, without being confident, your fern appears to be a species of Dryopteris (wood fern), possibly Dryopteris intermedia (evergreen wood fern). This species is not actually evergreen, but rather wintergreen (the leaves remain green over the winter season). Best wishes.
