Ferns are a huge plant family with over 10,560 known extant species. They are unique in that they neither flower nor seed but rather have pores. Their origins are truly pre-historic with some evolving as far back as 360 million years. They come in diverse and often complex leaf formations. There are many popular fern species that have become popular both as indoor plants and outdoor plants. Some popular species include Aspleniums (Bird Nest Ferns), Nephrolepis (Boston Ferns), Platycerium (Staghorns), Adiantum (Maidenhair Ferns), Selaginella (Spikemosses), Cyanthea (Tree Ferns) & Tassel Ferns to name just a few.
