Default Basket Fern-6665-(Drynaria rigidula)

An unusual native fern, in the wild they grow on trees, in domestic
situations, they don't need to be put in pots or dirt, as they produce their
own 'basket'. They have 2 different fronds, tall fertile fronds and small
infertile 'nest' fronds which are the ones that form the basket. This one is
only just producing it's summer tall fronds and they are not as yet, fully
developed, I cut all the old ones off a couple of weeks ago.
