PRETTY PECULIAR PLANT



Platycerium – even the name sounds odd. Mostly referred to as Staghorn or Elkhorn ferns, this genus of fern is, to say the very least, unusual looking. Yet they are fascinating to look at because their fronds are something else, quite unique. To look at a platycerium is to look back in time millions of years. They are found on several continents, South America, Africa, Asia as well as Australia and unsurprisingly thrive in tropical and temperate climates. They really aren’t your average fern at all.” w/ photos. LINK
