Ferns! At the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden

As much as I enjoy walking the entire Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, the highlight for me is the Victorian Fern Stumpery. My previous visits  have occurred in November and February, when this section of the garden probably wasn't at it's peak. This year's early September visit was a treat...During my last visit (February of 2020) their Dicksonia antarctica was wrapped up for winter. It's nice to see it looking all gorgeously prehistoric with it's trunk showing.
I didn't get the name of this large leaved rhododendron but included it to show what a great pairing it makes with the nearby ferns.
Stumps with moss and ferns, what's not to love?
Arisaema foliage I believe?
Cyrtomium falcatum, aka Japanese holly fern
A cute little saxifraga...
More Cyrtomium falcatum with Woodwardia unigemmata (I think?).
Looking ahead...

Of course it's all about the small details and so I had to lean in to see what was going on here.
And that's when I got a re-education about Saxifraga stolonifera ‘Maroon Beauty’...
Because how cute is it tucked in with that moss? Am I right? I could not wait to buy this plant I'd formerly dismissed!
I still don't know what this one is. It looks a little like a phlebodium but I just don't know...

And a bit of Pyrrosia sheareri unassumingly tucked in.
Maybe this is a better angle. You know I wanted to cut that yellow frond in the above photo.
I know those of you who do not live in Western Washington or Oregon probably think this is what our gardens look like year-round. 
That is not the case. Most of the Western Pacific Northwest is golden and parched by the time early September rolls around, especially this year with a very dry spring, a record setting hot June and a dry and very warm July and August. I really would love to learn about the irrigation schedule here at the garden, it must be pretty extreme to keep all these beauties alive and looking so lush.
