Can anyone help me identify a white leaved fern with red leaf edges?

a picture of this fern was seen in a magazine but never took note of the name and would like to get one so need to find out it's name and if possible to buy in the UK

Can anyone help me identify a white leaved fern with red leaf edges?
I looked through my gardening books and found 2 different types of ferns that you might be talking about.



1) Japanese Silver Fern: Spreading fronds with silver and maroon accents, 12 inches high. (This one looks white with pinky, purplish, redish accents)



2) Japanese Shield Fern: Dark green frons are maroon when young, 2 feet high.



It would help if you could copy and paste your picture of the plant in place of your avatar, just long enough for this question.



Good Luck!
Reply:it sounds like it could be a Japanese painted fern, if i saw a picture i might know better
