Identifying Two Common Ferns: Bird's Nest and Asparagus Fern

Fern ID from Photos

Based on your description and photos:

Sturdier, Wavy Fronds

Either Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) or Hart's Tongue Fern (Asplenium scolopendrium), or a hybrid. Both form a central rosette of broad, undivided fronds.

Delicate, Lacy Fronds

Asparagus Fern (Protoasparagus plumosus, syn. Asparagus setaceus). Not a true fern but a lily relative with feathery, needle-like cladodes.

Both are lovely additions. Let me know if you need care specifics for either.
