Update: Francesca H. reports that she believes these plants are Anthyrium niponicum “Ghost” or “Pictum” (Dryopteridaceae). Thanks Francesca! It will be great to have more information when searching for these.
I took the opportunity of a college visit with my son to take a lot of photos of the campus and any interesting sites I saw there. Right outside the college admission office were these amazing ferns. The silver-tinged leaves caught my attention immediately. I have no idea what variety they are, as they weren’t identified in any way, but I know I will keep an eye out for something similar in the future, for sure.
