Epiphyte Collospermun hastatum 2012 -2022

We have a good range of epiphytes growing in the shade house (see photo) but have been uneasy about introducing them into the wild. The conditions they normally grow in tends to be a lot damper than Mangaiti gully. This year we came across one that we had attached to a double tree fern trunk back in 2012. The location was out of the way and quite hard to get to. This year we made point of checking it out and to our surprise it has done very well. See the photos. Epiphytes are an important part of the biodiversity of the flora mix and it would be good to get them established in the gully. Photos: 2012 , 2022 and in shade house - Rex Bushell
