We’re back at UCBG at Berkeley last March and headed into the Asia section of the garden…
Angiopteris lygodiifolia, from Japan.
Pyrrosia lingua, also from Japan.
Growing very happily on a rocky fronted slope.
Onoclea orientalis, the Oriental Ostrich Fern… (China)
Its dry fertile fronds.
Rhododendron irroratum ssp. yiliangense (China).
Now we’ve jumped ahead to the Australasia section and the (**GASP**) tree ferns.
My pass by this section was a “look and admire” walk, no gathering of specimen names, they just weren’t visible from the path we were on.
They were gorgeous…
This tree fern trunk had an assortment of things strapped to it…
A staghorn…
An orchid (top), Dendrobium kingianum (Australia).
And a Pyrrosia confluens (New Caledonia)…
Kind of a clunky effort, IMHO.
This grouping had a label I could see, Dicksonia antarctica.
Another Pyrrosia growing on a trunk, P. lanceolata (Indonesia)
Check out that skirt!
