Osmunda regalis

11 Apr 2019 • Hard to see but in the foreground is my favourite #fern that I thought I had lost after the drought last summer but it was just resting 😊🌿😊🌿😊 #osmunda-regalis

Lots of healthy looking fronds appearing! 👏🏼👏🏼

I can’t tell you how happy this makes me Rachel 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 @rachelbrooks

Immensely satisfying I imagine. I love it when that happens 😘

I was so angry with myself. I was doing that “well if they can’t survive in a bed without being watered they can just die” bit, but then I thought it had 😱 Gunnera has just about survived though think it might be a bit smaller this year 😉😂 @rachelbrooks

Thank you Cyndi, me too 😊 @cyndi

Great news Jacqueline 👍👍👍

Thank you Laura 😊 @columbiariver

I’m so relieved Jane @pelly

I bet 👍👍

It’s bad enough when something dies of it’s own accord. You could kick yourself if it’s because you’ve done something to it. I remember pulling out a Clematis trying to unravel it from the climbing rose. Started off untwining it all patiently and then lost my temper and then nearly cried because I thought I’d lost it. I was over the moon when it started shooting up again the following year! Phew! 🙈

😱😱😱 Unravelling clematis is the riskiest activity in the garden... Thank goodness you got away with it @rachelbrooks

24 Mar 2019 • This may not look like much but it makes me very happy. I thought I had lost it in last summer’s drought but seems it was just resting 😉😃😃 #osmunda #osmunda-regalis

Woohoo!! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 that’s brill!

I’ve just looked back through my photos and have never posted a picture of it in full flow but it is wonderful. I think it is my favourite fern. I am so glad it is still alive. I almost dug it up in the autumn but a) I’m too idle and b) I read that they can become dormant when stressed @rachelbrooks

Well thank goodness for that then lazy bones! 😜🤣😉 but I’m really pleased for you because I know how disappointed you were that it didn’t look well! 👍🏼😘

Great news 👍👍

Thanks Rachel. I will try and get a decent photograph of it once it is fully out 😍 @rachelbrooks

Thanks Jane. It’s really big too so would have left a big hole, literally 😉@pelly

Thanks Julie, me too. And I have lots of shade and lots of rain, so they like my garden too 🌨😊🌨 @juliesgarden

They are wonderful plants Val. I think we take them for granted as they are everywhere 😊 @valjones-hughes

In the middle of making a little fern border in a shady corner so I’m on the look out for varieties.

Wakey wakey...

The aliens have landed 😂😂😂

I think I know where Steven Moffat gets his ideas from for Dr Who! @pelly

They're fascinating...but slightly freaky! 😬

I promise they are lovely once they unfurl 🌿🌿🌿 @rachelbrooks

What a great photo Jacqie 👏

Thanks Julie 🙂🙃🙂 @juliesgarden

Oh they are Jacqueline - can see they're prehistoric though can't you?! 👍🏼

Know what you mean Rachel. Love the simplicity 💚🖤💚 @rachelbrooks
