Tree Ferns, Cooperleaf Shrub and Heliconia below.

Magnificent - do you know what species the tree ferns are? Love the acalypha colours.

I think it's Cyathea Cooperi - Australian Tree Fern. It's the most commonly grown tree fern here.

Yes I thought it looked familiar - such a sun hardy tree fern.

A great photo showing all those together :-)

I never meant to post this photo...it is too blurry! LOL!

Bernieh:

Yes, it is very sun hardy and it can grow very tall I've seen
them over 30 feet / 10 meter tall. I saw some other species
of tree ferns in the tropical rainforest area of the San Deigo
Zoo which were over 40 feet / 12.5 meters tall...however,
they were too shaded and intermingled with trees to take a
clear photo.

Louise1:

Thanks.

WQW! great photo. I like the misty effect of the filtered light.

Lori:

Thanks! Mushybanna inspired me to take this photo...he
had taken a similar photo in the Caribbean.

So tall! Don't these take extra watering, especially during your drought?

Orgratis:

Yes, they do...I would hate see the San Diego
Zoo's water bill!
