    Default Fern - volunteer plant

    Don't know what it is, but it cropped up on its own, and I liked the look of it so I let it be. It has fuzzy brown roots.

    I think a species Davallia, one of the Rabbit Foot Ferns. They are pretty.

    Not in any so far. Only 'volunteer' plants to show up in my orchid pots are either phaius or spathoglottis.
