Hi folks,
A friend gave me an asplenium antiquum when my dad died. I don't
know wnything about this, except that it appears to be a fern of
some sort. Can one of you tell me something about it, and it's
hardiness?
Thanks,
Harry

This is just a neat page about ferns, with habitat information for fern=

They suggest "One-third potting soil, one-third peat moss, one-third sa=

gravel and charcoal (in equal parts)" as a good potting mix for A. nidus.

A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Barb, for some reason I'm getting "fern=s" then next line "native to
Georgia, USA." Also, "sa=nd," Margaret L
Yes, you are. I cut and pasted the section in quotes, quoting from:
http://www.ces.uga.edu/pubcd/B737-w.htm.
That webpage is set up in a different character set, not ascii, and that
difference pushed my message from plain text into quoted-printable mode.
Sorry.
