Found these on sale at a local nursery, $2.25 each in 6" pots! They are about 18-22" tall. I used to have another species of this that was about 8" tall.

Onoclea sensibilis, sensitive fern.

No, it isn't a sensitive fern. The leaves are very pale, bluish color, and don't look like the ones I saw at several websites.

It seems to be Phlebodium sp.

I found it. It's a polypodium aureum 'blue star'.

For some reason I can't post a pic the usual way.
