Still that idiot, Kipper snack, never gives any feedback with any clue as to
which freaking plant he is actually growing.

I say forget the GOMER and cut that worthless bilge loose.

I concede to Elizabeth. This sounds far more probable. S. flabellata has
also been given that common name but I was too fixated by the 'fern'
aspect.

There are about 10,000 species of ferns and many having common
names that
vary with numerous differences. 'Peacock' is not known generally
but all
ferns are foliage plants and always need shady moist positions.
Ferns are
neuter plants and serve well as foils for flowering plants.
If you need to move your Irises [Irides?] then do so with
as little
disturbance as possible and all should be well.
Best Wishes.

Any info on Peacock Fern. I got one at the lawn and garden
show in
Nashville and would like to know some info on them, also any
advice on
moving Japanese iris. thank you.





There is a plant known as Peacock fern. It is neither a fern nor a
peacock. Also known as Selaginella uncinata, it is a spike moss.
Not sure if this is the plant you have. As has been pointed out,
common names lead to much confusion. Google the Latin name to find
a picture. I've grown this plant as a ground cover (damp, shady,
sandy) and as a potted plant.

Elizabeth, I did the search as you recommended, and yes that is what it is.
And, it's just perfect for the area I am planting it. Again, thank you.
