Hi,

I belive it is Cystopteris fragilis of the Athyriaceae family.

It reminds me of Nephrolepis cordifolia. I've got Nephrolepis cordifolia 'Lemon Button'. This one seems to be taller, with forked tips and double pinnae. It might be Nephrolepis cordifolia 'Duffii'. Regards.

Hi, I can't seem to see any spore development on any of the fronds. This was the most mature of all of them so I took a pic of the underside anyhow, hoping it will assist in the id. The curliness reminds me of parsley. Thanks Tracy

Those aren't ferns. They're something in Apiaceae, family of many carrot-like plants that I'm notoriously good at misidentifying. Probably something common, but I'm not even going to guess.
