Yesterday was so beautiful. We had clear bright blues skys with not a cloud in sight. Warm air with an almost tropical breeze blowing. Spring is finally here in good old Virginia. All the trees have buds and the grass is getting greener each day. Its looking like today will be just like it.

Subject: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern
BerniceC: yes,it was a tas tree fern.maybe it was a little thin because it was raised indoors.

Subject: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern
nobleheart: Being raised indoors does make trees,ferns etc have a whole new look.I'm raising a banana tree indoors from Fla, and it will probably never reach six ft.
