I had bought this fern a few years ago at Walmart and loved it. Unfortunately it died and I would like to have another. Can anyone tell me what it's called by a picture? :oS

I believe that's a Sheepdog Fern --very rare.

JPlunket, do you know the scientific name for that one? Dryopteris Baa Baa Caninus?

RE the bark, since the fern died years ago I don't know for sure, it was black I think. Thanks for all the info.
