Plant ID - possibly ferns?

Angela_diplock

Hi, can anyone help me identify these two plants please?  I think they're both ferns.  Many thanks!

Yes they do look like ferns.
Ferns are extremely hard to id from pics.
But from your pics impossible to say which one

Thanks Silver surfer.  Just reading up on ferns generally and it looks like I need to do quite a bit more research into the pinnae, stipes, etc.  I didn't realise how complex they are - they've certainly got me intrigued.

Many ferns are quite promiscuous and frequently hybridise themselves so unless you have a division from a named variety you may find it very difficult to get a firm ID ... but that doesn't detract from their charm

I agree with Dove.
I love ferns and grew loads  of different ones in old garden...
....from really tiny ones to much larger.
....Ones for wet areas and ones for dry
Very under rated

Thanks both for the info.  I’m really looking forward to seeing how they develop!
