anthurium filix femina Athyrium filix-femina – Ballyrobert GardensAbout this cultivar: Athyrium filix femina is a large, feathery species of fern native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, where it is often abundant in damp, shady, woodland environments. Its common name 'lady fern' could refer to how its reproductive structures (sori) are concealed in an inconspicuous deemed 'female' manner on the frond. Alternatively, it is said to be feminine because of its elegant and graceful appearance.

About this cultivar:

Athyrium filix-femina is a large, feathery species of fern native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, where it is often abundant in damp, shady, woodland environments.

Its common name 'lady fern' could refer to how its reproductive structures (sori) are concealed in an inconspicuous – deemed 'female' – manner on the frond. Alternatively, it is said to be feminine because of its elegant and graceful appearance. ALTERNATIVELY AGAIN the fronds are narrow at the top and bottom (this feature makes them easily identified) but wide at the centre, presumably like like a lady's hips.

Specific epithet comes from Latin filix meaning fern and femina meaning woman as confirmed by the common name of lady fern.

They often change their minds and decide to vary in size (a lady's fern is a lady's prerogative? - another alternative naming theory?) but usually stay under 1.5 ft tall (45cm).

A great choice for a shady area of the garden in need of a small-to-medium but easy-to-grow fern. Rock gardens, woodland gardens, shaded border fronts or shade gardens. Also effective in shaded areas along streams or ponds.

    About this genus:

    Athyrium (often name after the species type, Lady ferns) have long been valued (case in point: the Victorian fern craze) for being an easy-to-grow and spectacular looking genus of, tough, deciduous, garden ferns. Although the Japanese painted fern, Athyrium niponicum, was only used in the garden relatively recently it is now the most popular species.

    The sheer volume of named cultivars of Athyrium for sale is incredible. Despite the popularity of the genus Athyrium most gardeners have never grown more than a fraction of the 80-plus species

    As mentioned, Athyrium niponicum is also extremely popular and was selected as the 2004 Perennial Plant of the Year. Many wonderful cultivars are around because of the diversity of the foliage colour.

    As you can imagine by their popularity, most members of the genus Athyrium are quite easy to grow in a wide variety of garden conditions. Despite a reputation as shade-only plants many Athyrium will do well in sun as long as there is enough moisture to stop them drying out (think: they are often grown and displayed in hot, humid, sunny, glass houses aren't they!!!?)

    Comfy, Supportive, and Great for Lounging in Bed
    This wedge-style headboard pillow has made sitting up in bed much more comfortable. The shape offers full upper-back support, with just the right amount of firmness to keep you propped upright without feeling stiff. It’s especially helpful for reading or watching shows in bed, and it stays in place well against a flat headboard. The purple color is rich and vibrant in person, and the removable cover is soft to the touch with a smooth finish. We really appreciated that the cover zips off easily and can be machine washed—it held its shape and color after laundering. The pillow also has a nice weight to it, so it doesn’t feel flimsy or slide down easily. This is a great addition for anyone who likes spending time sitting up in bed, whether for reading, working, or relaxing. It also doubles nicely as a decorative accent when the bed is made. The quality feels solid, and the size works well across the width of a queen bed without overwhelming the space. Id say it is ok for the price. It does retain warmth though

    Thick, Supportive, and Cozy for Reading or Nursing
    Size: Full, Color: Olive Green
    This wedge pillow has been a great fit on my daughter’s bed. It’s super soft and cozy, and at the same time offers great support for sitting up in bed. The pillow is nice and thick, so you don’t sink into it — perfect for reading, studying, or lounging without needing multiple regular pillows. I tried it out myself and was surprised at how well it also works as support while nursing an infant. It props you up at just the right angle and feels stable without shifting around. The removable, washable cover is a big plus, and the olive green color is subtle yet stylish. I’m impressed enough that I’ll either be purchasing one for myself soon or adding it to my Christmas list.

    Cozy, Cute, and Practical!
    Size: Twin/Twin XL, Color: Light Pink
    I got this pillow for my daughter to use when she heads off to college this fall, and she absolutely loves it! The light pink color is soft and calming, just what she wanted to match her dorm decor. It’s plush, supportive, and super comfortable, whether she's sitting up to read, study, or just relax. The removable, washable cover is a big plus, and the side pockets are so convenient for stashing her phone or glasses. While the pillow works great on its own, we still plan to get a detachable headboard to complement it for added support. Overall, this is a stylish and functional addition to her dorm setup, and we’re both really happy with the quality. Highly recommend!

    Nice decor for the bed
    Size: Twin/Twin XL, Color: Black
    Ordered this in black and it looks nice in the bed that doesn’t have a headboard . It comes nicely sealed and once you take it out you need to keep hitting both sides to fluff it up throughout the day . This is not a firm pillow , but if left alone on the bed it holds up and looks nice . Once you lay on it then it feels like an over fluffy pillow that keeps you upright in a comfortable way . There is no smell so that as a plus . Nice decor for the bed !

    Buttons
    Size: King, Color: Dark Grey
    Here's what I like: Appearance. I like the color and how it looks on my bed. It looks appropriate for a king sized bed. Removable cover. It was easy to take the cover off and wash, which I appreciate because I like my bedding to smell fresh and clean. What I don't like: It is a bit softer than I would like. But I can live with it. I thought it was a foam pillow inside, not fill. Maybe my fault though for not reading description or reviews. Quality. This is the biggest issue driving the rating. I removed the over upon opening the item so I could wash it. The buttons are attached the the inside cover. When removing the outside cover, you have to unbotton them. They are not secured well at all. From what I can tell the threading goes through the inside cover through the fill to the button on the opposite side. I suspect this because 4 buttons came off when I removed the outside cover. They are very loosely secured to each other. Be gentle when removing and replacing the cover. Now I will have to thread the buttons again and secure it. Just a pain for a brand new item. Should I expect that for the cost of the item? I dunno. Could have been a higher rating, but, damn those buttons.
