This fern has appeared in a shady, often dry, north-facing border, under the overhang of our mountain cottage for twenty years. It appears in July or August, always has one leaf and then a spike that is laden with dusty spores. I've not found another on our 17 acres of mostly woods and never seen it elsewhere. It disappears in winter. Would love to propagate it, but I'm afraid I'll damage this single specimen. Thanks for advice in advance.
