Resurrection Fern growing on a magnolia tree making a comeback after an extended drought, the miracle of rain
Last night’s rain helped the resurrection fern (Pleopeltis polypodioides) despite our low temperatures make a comeback (Morning Whippet Power Walk) #epiphytes

#ThickTrunkTuesday What an amazing sight! 😲 This tree trunk is covered with epiphytes and parasitic plants & vines, growing and thriving in its natural environment. #nature #epiphytes #parasiticvines #airplants #orchids #ferns #tropicalplants
The #lichen Melanohalea exasperatula on an ornamental tree at #DrumCastleNTS in NE Scotland. This species seems to be heading north as I am increasingly finding Melanohalea species locally. Global warming?

Nice to find Cliostomum griffithii on rough bark at Balgavies Loch, a species I have not seen in a while. Rough barked trees has a very distinctive lichen flora that is well worth exploring.

A festive greeting from the epiphyte gang after a long and restorative soak! #holidays #plants #epiphytes
It’s crazy to me what good #driftwood does. I’ve been cobbling together smaller pieces to emulate larger pieces, so this is my first proper big piece of driftwood while #aquascaping. Honestly all I got to do was dot #epiphytes on it and stem plants in key locations.

If ranges were overestimated, risk may be underestimated. See what this means for conservation, from cloud forests to collections 🧪

Hoya Mathilde is flowering for the first time in a while! It likes the heat and humidity outside.

A queen of the night flower bud growing quickly, getting ready to open, nighttime, a light green inner layer with a split darker outer layer, some green leaves in the background,
A queen of the night flower, the second stage after the bud splits, the bud has burst open with a flat layer of out petals and a white inner bulb, it’s on a green stem, there ire various green leaves and bits of the main plant in the background.
The queen of the night flower, the third stage, the central bud has opened, white petals and stamens with yellow pollen, the secondary bud casing is still not fully open. There are green bits of the plant in the background in the dark.
The final stage of the nocturnal bloom of a Queen of the night, fine white petals layer up towards the Center where there are white stained with yellow pollen, there a parts of the main plant to the right rear, fern to the left rear in the darkness.
Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum species.)
A small bud was there for a day or two, I checked every night until it opened, I have a long series of pictures taken most of the night until 0400hrs.
Its was dark with a misty drizzle, by morning it was wilted.

To carry out his project, he developed a #novel experimental setup to measure the fog-catching functionality of #cloudforest #epiphytes! 🌱
In today's #GCCmeeting, our Master's student Karl Fetsch spoke about his recent #fieldwork in Madeira, where he tested whether the presence of #epiphytes increases amounts of #fog drip in cloud forests ☁️ 🌳

Epiphytes are underrepresented on the Red List. Our findings suggest they should be front and centre in plant conservation.

Front entrance of the "Jardín Botánico Atlántico" de Gijón, below, an group of students observing the organization of the botanical garden (looking into a map).
Mature individuals of Polypodium cf. cambricum (one of the most common species of Polypodium in the botanical garden) growing along a branch of a centennial Quercus tree. The branch is covered in moss in its upper side.
Individuals of four species growing on the lower trunk of a Populus. There are moss patches and the back site is some sort of crevice. Three maple (Acer sp.) seedlings were observed, but the individuals of the other species (Polypodium cf. cambricum, Cymbalaria muralis and perhaps a Viola) do not seem to be juveniles.
A healthy individual of the tree Prunus laurocerasus (cherry laurel) growing on the main crotch of a Quercus ruber.
Fun visit to the Atlantic Botanical Garden of Gijón with @borjajimalf.bsky.social and a #botany class.
At least eight species of plants 🪴🏵️ growing as #accidental #epiphytes.
Quercus full of surprises! I wonder if this counts towards the value of centenary #Quercus for #biodiversity.

Cellphone screenshot of an iNaturalist entry in the project accidental epiphytes. The photo shows a southern polypodium (cf Polypodium cambricum) growing on mossess covering the bark of a Magnolia tree. The individuals are distributed along the trunk from 3 to 6 meters high. The photo shows adult and young individuals, and the tree was found in an urban park near the coast of Gijón, Asturias.

Screenshot of the project "accidental epiphytes" on a web browser, showing the number of observations (2928), species (770) and people (825) participating. It shows the occurrences/observations across de Globe.
Polypodium cf. cambricum grows on a bent trunk of a Sambucus, also covered by mosses. The tree occurred in a creek close by a beach on the way to Cantabria. The photo shows a single mature individual with four fronds.
Did you know that many "normal" plants grow accidentally as #epiphytes?
🪴🌿🪷🏵️
G. Zotz created this project www.inaturalist.org/projects/acc... to understand how often this happens? Under which conditions & in how many species occurs?
Here examples from #Asturias! You can also contribute!
