Question
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew what this plant was. It was found in northern Virginia, in a wetland area at the beginning of April. From searching the web, it seems somewhat similar to Onoclea sensibilis but none of the pictures of that have the red rim seen on the leaves. Any help is appreciated.
Answer
Dear Coleybug, you appear to have photographed Onoclea sensibilis. The ones you have shared here are relatively young with still expanding leaves. Many plants display different colors as they are unfolding and perhaps this explains the color you see. Beautiful images, thank you for sharing them.
