    I'm a gardener, not a photographer; with a cheapo camera, in the wind.

    Well I think your photographs show the tree in all its glory. Keep taking those pictures and sharing them with us.

    Philip... I'm not sure those are ferns, they look like Sega Palms to me. But I've been wrong once or twice before! :-D

    new species of fern discovered

    Your fern is Cycas revoluta (sago palm). Though there is fern in the picture. (thylipteris normalis-common shield fern)

    Philip... I only recognized them because I help keep my aunt's ones trimmed back. Plus I just moved one of my own out of the way since it didn't appear to survive our two whole days of winter. And then I've been keeping a close eye on my other one. :stew2:
