Hey all

I just found a fern labeled 'Brilliant'. Looking at some photos, I think it may be the same as 'Autumn Brilliance' but I am not sure. What do you think.....

Thanks for looking

I think you are right. so this changes as the summer goes on? neat, but makes you think fall has arrived early as summer did, doesn't it?

Pretty though!

I guess it will go through a cuople of color changes... I found this on a website:

"Here is a plant that changes color with every season. One of the showiest ferns offered in recent years. The fronds emerge in the spring with beautiful bright copper-bronze color tones, to dark green for summer and back to bronze again, and all on an evergreen habit that looks great in the partly-shaded bed or border. "

I guess I'll see what happens with it - it should be interesting to watch.

sounds like it. You'll have to post pictures of it through the season.

Sure looks like my Autumn Ferns (thanks Hostadad for sharing with me!) and I love to colors, that orangy-bronze color is outstanding
