This page shows some of my offerings which do not fit into a major category. Crypsinus trilobus has very stiff blades. It is a challenging fern. The best I have grown were in a very open mix, potted. Lemmaphyllum microphyllum is a very small, dimorphic fern. The
plants below are in small tree fern pots. .
The type below is a small, round-leaved form. So, a dwarf form of a tiny fern. How cool is that.
Selaginella is a widespread genus. Selaginella peruviana is a Texas native. Capable of drying out and rehydrating, it is better to give it good, consistent care. It would be a good choice for a rock garden. This little jewel is dark green, I just can't get a decent photo. There are ferns that grow in wet areas, and some are even aquatic. Marsilea angustifolia, a very small representative of the genus, grows in shallow water, and boggy margins. Note the fuzzy looking reproductive structure at the base of the frond. Pilularia globulifera also grows in wet soil or shallow water. It is also a very small fern, looking like grass just a few inches tall. |
