# I’m a fern collector and found a new variety at a nursery in FL while…

_Posted by NashvilleNDP on 2024-05-13_

I’m a fern collector and found a new variety at a nursery in FL while on vacation- ie was just labeled 8” Brake fern - anyone have any other input they can share? I’ve searched Google with no luck. The closest I found in the Planta DB is the Davana - but I have one of those and it’s not quite that curly.. any help is appreciated:)

When I google brake fern the scientific name that comes up is Pteris cretica.

I sent it to friend and she said it’s a Nicolás Diamond Fern!
