Showing next to last years scollies, I have never known them so early, this is the only low gryke they are showing today. I checked out scores today, they must have been warm and comfortable to come through so early.  They are about 4ft down the gryke and beyond touching distance.

This was a interesting 'Cristatum' which I found and photographed on 23rd September 2018 in Pickles Wood, Lancelot Clark Storth (CWT). The specimen shows multiple ends to the fronds. All fronds were affected to some degree.  The next photo shows the highest multiples with over ten divided ends.

I was well pleased to find this special one today (shown above) - Asplenium scolopendrium 'marginatum'.  I really like the look of this and can't wait to see what comes through with the new growth later in the year. 

This specimen showed two fronds which you can see in the photo, plus there was no evidence of any sori on the underside of either. Both fronds were about 9" long. the came through at the bottom of a small 6ft escarpment (see next photo)

Ramosum varieties:

 'Ramosum' (No.1 population)

Photo taken 24th May 2017 - Ploverlands

This is a fine specimen of scollie which is called 'Ramosum' (Click over photo to enlarge)

I was lucky to find this specimen on Ploverlands about five years ago whilst checking

out the scollies in that area. 3/4 of the fronds had developed this way as you can see

in the photo. I have done a annual check on them up to 2017 and they have come up

each year. 2018 could not find the plant.
