fiddleheads

#1 Nature by Design

I'm not sure what species of fern this is.
It's not Ostrich Fern the common producer of edible fiddleheads.
I'd appreciate ID if anyone knows!
Thanks Christine! These are Northern Lady Fern.

It's not one of out NZ ferns. It must be very pretty as it grows.

Beautiful shot. To me, this looks like Lady Fern (the black or dark brown scales are a good indicator for this species). V

Love the tightly curled shape. Beautiful colors and detail. I don't know what it is though. V.
