I posted this to the ID forum but thought I might find extra help here. Thanks in advance for your help.

Help with Fern ID
A very nice madienhair. Where did you buy that one? Finding a specie name on that one is going to be a challenge!
Hi Dale_a_G., I figured as much BUT, thought I'd give it a try, I'm going to contact the orchid co. that ardesia suggested and see if that gets me anywhere (have a look at that link above). This is in the collection at Strybing arboretum where I volunteer. We only have a few so are not selling it yet at the monthly sales, but hopefully soon.
I found one at a local nursery that's darn close, but not quite as airy as this one.
Have you ever checked out the hardy fern library. They have a lot of great information and the links are very good too......http://hardyfernlibrary.com/ferns/home.cfm
A. monochlamys looks similiar....good luck.

Looks like Adiantum raddianum var. Gracillimum, but the picture in my book is so bad I can't be sure.

Thanks everyone - I appreciate all the help!!

Such delicacy! Makes mine look pedestrian by comparison! I wonder if it would be hardy in the north...
