Christmas fern. Polystichum acrosticoides.

Doesn't quite look like christmas fern to me. Appears the fronds might be more than once pinnate. Would help to see a whole frond by itself (removed at ground level), both front and back.

Fairly certain that the second set of photos are of a totally different fern.

Exact same fern. I promise. Unless my front steps moved and planted itself next to a different fern. Dryopteris erythrosora...I think so.... Thank you!
