The first fern offering from our North Vietnam collections, this poor fella has been called as many names as even the most bullied of unfortunates from Lepisorus to Neolepisorus to the sci-fi devilry of Neocheiropteris. Through the torrid taxonomic seas it has clung to its floating board of delightful egg-shaped-ness, keeping its ovate epithet intact and acing that old proto-parenting assignment. The bright green egg shaped fronds with a rough papery texture are wholly unique and make for one of the ultimate pot displays or epiphytic wonders (for milder climes). We recently planted one out in our tufa wall and are eager to see how it performs for us here. Very rarely offered anywhere due to its slowness and I have never seen this pure green form offered anywhere stateside. One for the true botanical connoisseurs.
This basket fern was fairly coating the host tree from whence it was collected on the slopes of the ominously named Daheishan or black mountain in Sichuan. This has shown good vigor in pots and has also proved hardy outside in our tufa wall thus far, shockingly good performance for this usually tropical genus! Desirous of good drainage and a bit of room for its chunky rhizomes. The green fertile fronds will go dormant during winter leaving the skeletal sterile basal fronds to collect food for next year.

There's no telling how long this Agapetes spends on its makeup each morning but what is for sure is that its eyeliner is decidedly on point. Whereas the usual species features overt rouge that often fades with age, the clasping parts of the flowers here are delicately outlined in a deep red resulting in a suave toupee or fancy hat for the striking yellow corolla. A Steve Hootman collection of this stunning Himalayan blueberry relative from Arunachal Pradesh, and the winner of our 2024 Rare Plant Rumble.
