Tree fern - Cyatheaceae

My attention was caught by the intricate beauty of this fern tree.



While walking around Toucheng Farm ,looking for some images for my blog, I stopped and focus my camera to this marvelous scene. It is indeed a cure for sore eyes! Look closer, you will notice the scaly , hairy curly new leaf!



They had been here growing around us since the Jurassic era! This very ancient tree fern can grow up to 20 meters high! Their erect-truck like stem is very prominent and attention -getting spot.



They usually live in the tropical wet forest.

Next time you visit and tour Toucheng Farm, take notice of this fern standing strong and erect. Maybe you'll discover something different, They are one of the mystical objects of creation.



Welcome!
