Ghost Fern, Athyrium ‘Ghost’, is one of my favorite ferns! Smaller than most ferns, about 18″ by 18″, but the bright silver, gray, and burgundy fronds brighten the garden.this deciduous fern spreads slowly to create a beautiful groans cover.

Staycation day 5!

It’s day five of my staycation. A lot of garden task completed but it seems like there is always something else to do! The temps have been in the 90s the last few days and that has kept me inside during most of the day.
I think Gus has enjoyed me being home!
I did spend Wednesday, which was my birthday, at Sarah P Duke Gardens in Durham and the NC Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill.
