Lynne's notes:

I love all ferns, so it takes something special to make me say 'it's a favourite'. This is a favourite. Even as a small plant there is something lovely about this fern. As a mature plant however, it looks fantastic and makes a statement in any planting. It's definitely one not to be missed.
