Sometimes I find it hard to come up with a name for a plant (and hence why I ask for suggestions on #HelpMeNameMyPlant ) and sometimes the plant suggests the name itself.


So today I bought a rescue Silver Lady Fern, it was getting crispy and in a bad way but I think I can bring it back to life with a little TLC (humidity etc)

So when I thought Silver Lady, I thought of the logo on the front of any Rolls Royce (no, I don’t own one … yet LOL 😂) which is known as “The Spirit of Ecstasy” ( over 100 years ago so before “Ecstasy” was used as a name for something else 🤫)

I came across this interesting article so please welcome “Spirit of Ecstasy Silver Lady Fern”

And for the diehards, there’s even a little booklet of its history

I name my plants too! They have to come organically. Some it just clicks. Like my amazonica..I got her and she was a sad thing, so I have sinced nursed her over 2 years and she is doing amazing! Naturally I named her Otrera, the first Amazonian Queen

@Tikiboo Hey that’s a really cool name to come up with. It’s nice to nurse plants back to health. Do you have some photos of Otrera ?

Here is one from before I repotted her. When I got her she had 6 8-foot long tendrils that only had a few leaves.

Great story that led up to naming your silver lady.

How I miss these articles of yours is a mystery??? I like the name and the looks of the fern when I looked it up @Seymour best of luck on your new plant!! I got a new one myself, not sure you would actually call it a fern but to me that’s what it looks like🤔 it’s a philodendron Tortum
