Meyer's asparagus is a true asparagus and is absolutely unrelated with ferns. It may wear the name "fern" in the common name maybe, but in the same way than an anteater is not related with an ant...

As I said in my comment, its not the the same as *edible* asparagus (such as I am familiar with). But yes, I did unintentionally intone that its a fern when its it is only fern like in its looks. But to clear- myers asparagus is NOT edible but is a common decorative cultivar. An asparagus fern (asparagus setaceus) is another which is not a fern and is actually toxic.

I apologize for my vague commentary before but this is an animal toy forum, I claim to be no expert in plants and was happy to do a little easy Google-ing to find more info for myself.

Actually my reply was for @bmathison1972 , who said "it seems Meyers asparagus is a kind of fern". Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I would never want to speak for another forum member but I think Blaine came from the same place I was with his comment.

Yup. But at the end of the day I don't care. This is pedantry masquerading as knowledge

I don't think you need to leave over this...

If you follow my "Zoonotic" social media (Facebook and Instagram) I recently got to take a mini vacation down to see my sister's family and then popped over to see the Dinosaur National Monument Quarry and the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum (phew!) near Vernal, Utah. And then we spent some time at the Bean Life Science Museum in Provo, Utah. It was a very last minute scrapped together vacation, but it was a ton of fun for me and my Mom and it was nice to go visit those places again. Anyway, I have photos of our trip on social media if anyone is curious but here is my haul!

And finally, my Toymany samples made it to my door after some postal service issues.


Lots of goodies!
