Like I said, I think it's a type of fern, but I could be wrong. I saw them throughout our local Riverbank'sBotanical Garden, but I didn't see an ID card/place marker. Does anyone know what it is? I still think they look pretty wild!

Nice capture, but I don't know what it is. I didn't think ferns ever got a flower.

For the record... It's a Lycoris Radiata aka Spider Lily. From Riverbanks, "[It] is a novelty in the world of ornamental plants. Each spring the strap-shaped foliage appears, only to die down with the heat of summer. In September, clusters of red flowers suddenly spring forth from the ground, which is the reason they are frequently called magic lilies. The stems, topped with spidery-like flowers, reach 18 to 24 inches."

And... There are many different types of ferns that do flower, this just isn't one of them.

It's cool that these don't bloom in spring with everything else... gives you some color when little else is left out there.
