Hi Debi. It looks like some form of Asplenium, the Birds Nest Fern. Could you send a pic of the base of the fronds?

Hi,

This is the base of it not very clear but looks like a clump of roots.

Hi again. Could be a Platycerium (Elk / Staghorn fern), very hard to tell. Best put it into some potting media and grow it on in a shelterd spot with good watering. Don't bury the plant too deep into the mix (especially if it is a Platycerium, as these are epyphites).
Good luck! Hopefully by this time next year, your fern will have put on some growth and we can identify for sure.

Hi Guys,

I forgot I had this photo of these.
They were growing in a row?
Any suggestions?

A mate,

Hi Debi, your fern is Microsorium punctatum, Climbing Bird's Nest Fern.

Looks identical to the one I got a few years back under the name Asparagus Fern.
