Several months ago a co-worker told me about a fern that she use to make lather from when she was a child living in east Tennessee. In all my plant books I have not found any mention about a fern that does this. I found some fern this past summer but it did not produce a lather. I have found the bouncing bet or soapwort growing in my yard. I am not that impressed with the amount of lather that it produces. Do any of you have experience with a fern that produces a soapy sudsy lather?
