Plantguy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hey Bruno, excellent fossils! By any chance is that really a living and a fossil example of the same genus Dicksonia? Good luck with the live youngster! May her recovery be speedy. I havent added a large fern/tree fern to my backyard landscape yet but do certainly want one...Is that species also known as antartica? Just read that D.antartica is cold tolerant to 20 degrees F so maybe I could try that one outside.. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.L.P. Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ooh, neat, a living fossil! Glad to see it is faring well. "All the dinosaurs are real, based on fossil evidence. Whether the rest is real depends on you. It belongs in the marble hall, not that of the museum, but of your imagination, the other side of the mirror, the world that is in the end more true."-James Gurney, Preface to Dinotopia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
