fern id
 
I know there are thousands of fern species but this one has some extraordinary colouring. Maybe someone of you have already seen this fern somewhere. I don't even know wether it is tropical or not. It popped out of the N. fusca pot.

Looks like one of the Polypodium aurea forms, some get a nice steel blue-green color, and cal also get very large! Nice plant! - Rich

many thanks for the ID. Cool I'm also a big fan of ferns while I'm mostly interested in Platycerium and antferns (though I haven't got any antfern)

Here is an update of this fern some months later. You still see at the bottom the slightly yellow leave which was the one I've shown at the beginning of this thread. I really like this plant. Growing quite fast I'd say
