Thought I'd show you pictures of my fern again. I really think that one of the halves you sent me is crocking:(. It was uncurling for awhile, actually faster then the other half, but then it just stopped and now the uncurled fronds are getting limp and just hanging. I'm wondering if I trimmed them off if it might give it a chance to come back???? I've thought before with other plants that trimming off dying stuff helps the plant to come back???

The live side, and at the bottom of the picture you can see the other.

Closer look at the side I think is dying.

And then for the heck of it:), the dogwood tree I got last year from Jenny for mothers day. It's blooming, I was wondering if it would survive. I've had alot of people tell me they are hard to grow.

Well, the one side of your fern does look pretty bad. It looks like maybe the top 3 fiddle heads in the bottom picture are rotting or something. Hopefully it'll make it. I don't know if cutting them off would help or not. I just happened to glance at mine this moring and it's greening up too. I didn't look close enough to see if part of it isn't doing to well. I'll have to check it out this evening.

I got some more pics here. I went ahead and put Grace's fly sheet on her this weekend and it was so funny watching the other horses check her out. You could tell that they didn't quite know what to make of it. They all gathered around her in a mob and pretty much went everywhere she went for about 30 minutes...

I think Tennessee even thought it was sexy. He was following her around like an old stud after a mare in heat...

The new must've worn off though because he's back to pretty much ignoring her now.

Hmmm... I wonder why one would die and the other not. It may or may not come back.... go ahead and trim off the dead curls. ???
