Notes:
These ferns grow in Habersham Co., GA and are about 6 to 8 inches high. They are found in oak clearings in moderly dry soil and cover small patches of ground. At first I thought that they might be oak ferns (Gymnocarpium sp.), but the leaflets at the end of its leaf is not futher divided.

Looks like a common Bracken Fern. A natural groundcover, (some people call it a weed), that volunteers where it finds a suitable environment.

I believe this is a grape fern. I live in Habersham and have them too. They don’t transplant well because they need something (bacteria?)that is found in the soil where they naturalize.
