relatively new, |

Platycerium Coronarium cv Phillippinese
obtained from Thailand Summer 2016. I grow it is a humidity chamber
within the greenhouse. Nice new shield frond growing which is the
same time of the year as most P. hillii |

between Alcicorn and Madagascariennse

Above - Platycerium Elephantosis. I
almost lost this one while touring in China but it has recovered and
starting to look nice. Obtained this one from an orchid dealer in
Santa Barbara
|
 |
Platycerium Ellisii cv Long I obtained
from Thailand summer 2016. It is growing in a greenhouse and has been
dormant since I received it. |
| Below Platycerium Grande obtained from
Thailand. I have it growing in a humidity chamber within the
greenhouse. I don't think a P. Grande will survive the cold in So.
California. |

Platycerium hillii cv Jimmie
A Steve Talnadge discovery back in the 1970s and marketed at the Del
Mar Fairl I got a pup in 1980 and today I am probably the only
grower of this cultivar. |

garden. |

|
Below - Platycerium Hillii cv Hula Hands
obtained from LAIFS spring 2015. Notice the short fingers on fronds,
thus, Hula Hands. |
|
|
|
Below - Platycerium Hillii cv Bloomei obtained from Jim Jeager of LAIFS
(2017). The rich green fronds may be a result of growing
inside my greenhouse. |

Tom Gauchi in Huntington Beach, Member of LAIFS. |

This Hultumii was purchased from
Louisiana in 2015 and has been growing in my greenhouse. I had it in
a humidity chamber for last 2 months with no noticeable change. It had some
dry periods in summer of 2016. Currently the plant appears to be in
a dormant stage. |
 |
Platycerium Mt Kiskahood obtained from
Thailand and growing inside a humidity chamber within the greenhouse.
Nice new fertile frond growing out the top. |
|
Below - Platycerium Mt Lewis obtained at LAIFS
annual fern show in June 2015. It was in a pot and I have it growing
in the greenhouse. There is a little Spanish moss on it to help with
humidity. |
|
|
|
Below - Platycerium Mt Lewis is growing outside
under 50% shade cloth. In December it is growing a couple new
fertile fronds. |
|

|
Below - Platycerium Stemaria cv White was imported from
Thailand, August 2016 |
|
|
|
Below - Platycerium Suberbum. Originally
sold to me in 1980 as a P. grande. About that time the species was divided
into to different species and I believe this one is a superbum because of
its tolerance to my local growing environment. I kept it in 100%
shade and it never got larger than 8 inches across for 30 years. Two
years ago I moved into partial sun and it has almost filled this 36x36
inch board. |
|
|
Below - Platycerium Willinckii cv Java.
This one is a great example of how the fertile fronds grow out sideways
which is different from all other platyceriums. |
|
|
Below Platycerium willinckii Pygmaen |
 |
Platycerium willinckii Pygmaen.
Have had this plant for several years and it is ready to be mounted on a
larger board. |
Platycerium willinckii cv Schofield obtained from
Larry, LAIFS member |
|
|
 |
|
ABOVE - Willinckii Schofield obtained from Los
Angeles International Fern Society which was donated to them which was
donated to them from a long time member. |
 |
Platycerium veitchii cv Lemonei which
is relatively drought tolerant. I am growing this one for my sister
in Needles California where the temp reached over 120 F in the summer.
The plant heeds to be well established to survive those temps. |
