Field Notes

Description:

Also known as the Elkhorn Fern. This fern was supported by a shallow decorative container, but they are also often hung from trees (by very sturdy supports). In the wild, the fern would be attached to the tree itself.

Habitat:

Native to southeastern Australia. Spotted in the tropical south.
