Fern

I showed you the begonias that spend the winter in my basement and the rest of the year under the maple trees in my yard.  This fern does the same thing.

It came from my mother's house and is at least twenty years old.

 It looks scraggly after a winter of semi-neglect in the basement, but after about a month of watering and fertilizing, it is okay again.

This arrangement really suits me because if I try to plant something under the tree, the tree roots destroy it within a month or so.
