Fern



Wonderful ferny stuff. I want some.
It was difficult getting a good photography angle on it.
I'm not sure what kind of fern it is. Googled for ferns and North Dakota. Found three possibilities.

Looks like the:
Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Todaro (ostrich fern)
usda
npwrc

Ferns for ND
Native Plants for Landscape Use in North Dakota

(GOOD link. Tons of plants listed for ND and also other states as well. See Tables of Contents.)

Also mentioned:
Botrychium virginianum (rattlesnake fern)
usda
npwrc

Cystopteris fragilis (fragile fern)
Must be the
Cystopteris fragilis (L.) Bernh.
brittle bladderfern
usda
