Name this fern please

[rewolf]

OMG - I'm so embarrassed but I can not remember the name of this fern. This pic is from a wedding four years ago and I have not used it since. I remember that it's a nice alternative to sprengeri without the pain.

I know you all know. I need to order it tomorrow.
I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe my ponytail is too tight...

looks like aspargus fern !

 

[rewolf]

Ah, I thought so but then aren't all those types of ferny-looking ferns somehow related to or called asparagus fern.
I just didn't want to order 'asparagus' and end of with something different...
Thanks for the input

 

[KABERS]

we call it plumosa here

 

[rewolf]

Thanks Jenifer
Although not in my attached picture, your plumosa has led me to Deflex - that's what I was using instead of sprengeri but stopped because it's a bit pricey.
I'll stick with the plumosa! $4 vs. 9.50/bu

Thanks!

Love the deflex, but it is pricey...the other is plumosa, not sure you will find a wholesaler that still calls it asparagus fern or just plain grass...

It IS plumosum, that's how I order it. Asparagus is springerii

Ok, in my world, aparagus is springerii even though tree fern actually LOOKS like asparagus. I've never heard plumosa called asparagus. Here is a foliage guide from Koehler and Dramm's website that you may find helpful:

amazing how different areas, call the same product by different names..

Not just flowers and greens but arrangements are referred to in such different ways as well. I bet we all have a different idea of what a "bouquet" is. "Spray" means casket spray to some, standing spray to others, and a set piece to yet others.
