    Answer

    alwayslooking, good morning. I don't know for certain who you have photographed, but the tuft of leaves look more like a composite of some kind (i.e., not a fern). It may be something in the genus Achillea (yarrow), but I'm not confident without flowers. Sorry I can't be of more help.
