Hi!

Am in the Chicagoland area. I ran across a beautiful fern in the
Pacific Northwest which I believe is called Fiddle Head Fern. I am
looking for this fern here in the midwest and can't find it. I
tried to buy this fern in Seattle but was told it was an indigenous
wild fern and that no one sells it. Nor could I transplant one..
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

jean

Many ferns when emerging from the ground in the spring resemble the head
of a violin hence the name fiddlehead.

Is this it?
