Meet Holly and Jack

The sky at 6.20 am, inky trees accenting a stormy sky.




Shady woodland in the garden where ferns like to dwell.


Mussaenda erythrophylla =(red leaved.) likes sun and dappled shade.

New fern leaf is emerging from the base of the King fern.

King Fern, Angiopteris evecta has a massive "foot".


The leaves of the King fern, this fern is more than 2 metres high. (more than 6 feet).

The seed of a tree fern has found a niche.





Holly and Jack are growing up together.





Silver Brake, PterisArgyraea






Dracaena Surculosa has lost its "Milky way" and made stars and moons!

Croton fits in well with ferns as long as it gets some sun.




Native Five Finger Jack fern seeds freely.
Believe it or not: Sprinkle parsley seed on the head three times a year to reverse the effects of balding!! Traditional.....I wonder who had those .....brained ideas!
