 A closer look at the wonderful staghorn I found by the pool, here on the Sunshine Coast where I live. The shape, form color textures and detail is just amazing. The golden brown on the underleaf is the spore of the plant and just looks like velvet..... Enjoy.



A metre (3ft) wide and a metre and half (4 to 5ft) long at least.....

It is growing on the trunk of a palm tree which has its fronds all cut off. The staghorn is nearly as big as the palm, and wraps around two thirds of the palm trunk.

The leaves form a very pretty (and delicate) diagonal. And the texture just really pops, even tho I'm sure it is very delicate.

The detail and DOF in this shot is just beautiful. I have a couple of these hanging in wire baskets in my yard, but they are not quite that big. I have never seen one growing on the ground here. I think because bugs would eat them.
