I think those are both Sensitive Ferns (Onoclea sensibilis). Just want a confirmation!

I think those might be lady ferns (Athyrium filix-femina). I just got those from a friend. She doesn't remember the name of the but said she got them from Home Depot or Lowes so it is probably a commonly grown fern. The fern is laying all over the ground but is still green. It is starting to grow new leaves/fronds!

Those are very small ferns. You can use the regular size bricks to imagine the size of them. They were 2 small plant growing next to my mailbox across the street. I don't know if they are just baby ferns or just a small species of fern.

I think that fern is a Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides). It is ever green. This was growing on a slight slope near my mailbox. It was being over grown by Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia).

I have no clue what this is. It grows from a central crown which is unlike the other ferns I planted. The leaves on the bottom of each frond in the center are a whitish colour. I don't know what that means. I think the neighbors planted this in the back of their property and it has slowly spread. I found these 2 plants on my side of the property line.

Those are some pics of all the ferns. I can't wait for them to grow more!

Thanks for any advice/help/confirmation of plants/etc!

Fern 2: I'm pretty sure this is an Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris)Just want a confirmation :)

Fern 3: I think this is defiantly a sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis). It looks the least "fern-like" than all the ferns I planted IMHO.

Fern 4: I think this is a lady fern (Athyrium felix-femina). It was purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. I forget which.

Fern 5: From research I think this is a Japanese Painted fern (Athyrium niponicum var. pictum). It looks wonderful. I hope it grows in as it only has a few fronds.

Fern 6: I know this is a Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides). I just thought I would post a few pics of my new clumps.

Fern 7: I'm not sure what this is. I love the shiny fronds! It has hairy (not really hair) on its stem (I'm sure it's not really a stem).

Fern 8: Not sure what this is either.

Fern 9: This is also a no ID fern. It is by far the largest. Very tall.

Fern 10: This is a Ebony Spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron). It has grown a little bit since I planted it.

Here are a few pics of all the ferns. I can't wait until they grow in next year!

Thanks all!

Also, fern growth is a mound & those might be a bit too close to the brick wall to mature into their lovely mounds. Some ferns here grow 12" crowns, so need a lot more space that it appears you've given them. Maybe you can go back to the woodland areas of your place to view the mature specimens growth & gather more forest humus for the new plantings.

I've moved some of our native ferns from our backyard forest to inside the fenced area for a fuller native garden section. If I get a large enough rootball + the native soil & move them early in the season to get spring rains they thrive. I also mulch with lots of my bagged shredded maple leaves as they would have in the forest, but without the weed seeds :o). Some like licorice fern grow on rotting logs, so you must move the piece of log & it pulls off easily with your hands to set on top of humus rich soil in similar light conditions.

If I move them later once we have dry summer weather I have to water them weekly and daily in 90 degree weather if I want them to make it.

Maybe you can grow native wildflowers there, too. Ours mostly bloom in spring, so I also plant our native ferns in my mixed beds for contrast.
