Hi guys, I have had some positive feedback in various forums about the ferns in the background of my orchid photos. These are temperate forest tree ferns from Tasmania which is Australia;s most southern state. It is in my opinion the last great wilderness that civilisation has left........anyway the ferns I think are very nice, except they burn once the temperature gets over 100F as you can see.

Altogether we have 7 tree ferns.

P.S. Sorry I forgot to post the staghorn............we see this from the kitchen window.........it's lovely.

nice! I love tree ferns! cool staghorn too!

WOW! What a wonderful collection of ferns! Very nice!

I would almost kill for a collection of ferns like those. I wanted a ten foot Dicksonia Antarctica but it was going to be about £1,200 and the delivery charge was horrendous because it weighed so much.
