Wow, Andy - I've never seen a stagshorn fern - thanks so much for showing us and the palm looks good too You're very welcome. Stagshorn ferns (Platycerum bifurcatum) are usually very easy to get hold of. We had some in our old palm house that were 50 years old and they grew around the greenhouse uprights. Some of them were over 5 feet across and we used to get blackbirds and robins come in and best in them !!!!! They're an epiphyte so will happily grow on a piece of cork bark if kept humid and sprayed over. |
