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.

This one has a kingianum hanging above it.........

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.

You have some really nice ferns! In the first pic, are those cymbidiums next to the tree fern?

Actually they are bulbs growing out of the ground.

Thanks for the nice compliment!
