Notes: New fronds unfurl in a light, fresh, spring green; later, as the fronds mature, they turn a darker shade. Its name, tassel fern, comes from the frond's unique unfurling habits. After they unwind, the tips hang down, giving it a resemblance of a tassel; however, the these eventually straighten out.
