shield frond finally on its way on my bifurcatum yahoo

The staghorn fern, Platycerium bifurcatum, is a unique epiphytic plants that new studies indicate might live in eusocial colonies.

湿度が高くてニッコニコ。

ところで商品名「ビカクシタ」としか書かれてなかった奥の上側に見えるビカクシダ、今ほどビカクシダに興味がなかった頃に近所のスーパーからお迎えしたものだが今なら何となく「たぶんビフルカツムだろうな」と思える。

I thought it might be nice to share a bit about what PhD student life is like since before I started it, I really had no idea what to expect.

I have an office that I share with 3 other PhD students at my institute. It is in an old, historical building at the Munich Botanical Garden.

Let's take a tour around my desk:

First, my homemade Darwin crossstitch (pattern compliments of @shitpostsampler) to remind me that all scientists have bad days.

It sits behind my wonky dragon tree (Dracaena marginata) who I rescued from the trash outside my apartment. Who throws away a whole ass tree?

He's recovering beautifully, considering how fucky and sad he was when I pulled him from the bin.

Above my unnecessarily giant computer monitor I keep part of my expansive plant collection. Pink princess philodendron (Philodendron erubescens) w/handmade moss stick, my beloved jewel orchid (Macodes petola), zebra plant (Tradescantia zebrina) in owl pot (courtesy of my labmate, since I am the bird person) and poorly mounted staghorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum).

Little baby jewel orchid! He flowered recently and I am so proud of him.

Then there's my Cladonia collection, and my bottle of Icelandic lichen (Cetraria islandica) booze.

On the top shelf is my Calathea musaica 'Network', and jar of discarded lab lichens. I will figure out a use for them eventually. For now they are just aesthetic.

Then there's my monstera Peru (Monstera karstenianum) in a pot I "salvaged" from a cemetery. Pretty sure it's cursed, but nothing I can do about that now. Also the baby succulents off my mystery flea market sedum. Behind my desk you can see my German sailing cookbook, Florentine bat notebook, Pikachu of encouragement, and turtle postcard. The turtle is one of many who live in the greenhouse that I visit when work gets stressful. Also a magnet of my favorite Minoan goddess--tits out, snakes in hands, cat on head.

This is desk ant. She appears to have no colony and just hangs out with me all day. I have tried to track her and find where she comes from but she just runs around in circles on my desk for hours so I have given up. Sometimes I give her a little bit of my tea to drink. She is the backbone of this working group.

Anyway, if you ever see a scientist's office that isn't cluttered and chaotic, they are doing it wrong.

A video of my plant cabinet!

Apologies that there’s no sound. I need to take some proper pictures of my cabinet at some point x

Some of the plants in there are:

- Philodendron Gloriosum

- Alocasia sp. ‘Jacklyn’

- Asparagus fern

- Philodendron ring of fire

- Begonia ‘pink spot’

- Pellionia pulchra

- Actiniopteris Australia

- Platycerium bifurcatum

This cabinet has definitely been my favourite ‘plant’ project by far! ⭐️🌿

Plant drawn today, by me, the plant is Platycerium bifurcatum, or elkhorn fern/staghorn fern (according to wikipedia)

add to cart: platyceriums! (photos from listings)

i am such a sucker for ferns. picked up a killer round of mounted platyceriums. these cultivars are some serious stunners!

plath (hillii x bifurcatum hybrid)

panama (hillii cv panama)

horne's dwarf (willinckii x bifurcatum hybrid?)

one the three ferns named after Jerry Horne – Horne’s Surprise, Horne’s Delight & Horne’s Dwarf.

not sure of makeup of the Horne's dwarf cultivar/hybrid. i asked the seller and he is unsure but suspects it is likely a cultivar. maybe a willinckii x bifurcatum hybrid?

I believe the dominant characteristics are from the Willinckii with a little from the bifurcatum. A mature specimen has the tall shield frond and the rhizome is usually 1/3 from the bottom of the fern as opposed to the middle and the fertile frond are not as pendant as a true Willinckii.

i missed out on the ziesenhenne but asked the seller to contact me should he ever have another.

UPDATE: yay the seller had a ziesenhenne (veitchii cv ziesenhenne) available!

also picked up a ridleyi but there is a chance i won't get this exact plant since the seller had several available (photo from listing)

Six on Saturday: Surprise

Surprise is a town northwest of Phoenix that I encountered between late April and early May. These six are different sorts of horticultural surprises which I encountered at work. 1. Platycerium bifurcatum, common staghorn fern, Tillandsia usneoides, Spanish moss and two other unidentified species of Tillandsia combined for a surprisingly compelling epiphytic platter. The staghorn fern is from…

Stags horn fern

Fancy something a little unusual for in the house?

Platycerium bifurcatum, commonly known as Staghorn Fern, is an unusual and impressive evergreen fern with deep green forked fronds.

It likes a humid draft free environment

Lots of lovely house plants to choose from in the heated greenhouse.

Houseplants are so trendy right now !

Not only do they look good in your home, they bring great health benefits.

We grow lots at the nursery.

Some of the benefits of houseplants are:- Reducing carbon dioxide levels.

Increasing humidity.

Reducing levels of certain pollutants, such as benzene and nitrogen dioxide.

Reducing airborne dust levels.

Keeping air temperatures down.

Why not pop in and take a look!

We are open seven days a week 10am – 4pm including bank holidays

Diel dynamics of multi-omics in elkhorn fern provides new insights into weak CAM photosynthesis

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) has high water-use efficiency (WUE), which is widely recognized to have evolved from C(3) photosynthesis. Different plant lineages have convergently evolved CAM, but the molecular mechanism underlying the C(3)-to-CAM evolution remains elusive. Platycerium bifurcatum (elkhorn fern) provides an opportunity to study molecular changes underlying the transition from C(3) to CAM photosynthesis, because these two modes of photosynthesis occur in this species, with... http://dlvr.it/SlXvn4
