The morning sun shining on the staghorn fern in the front yard. There are more pics/stories of it in the link.
It has been hanging under the Oak Tree in the front yard since 2006 when my son and his wife moved to Tennessee and could not take it with them. it was about half this size then, she inherited 2 of them from a deceased Aunt.

Our trees from Space as shown on Google Earth.. When we purchased the house they were half this size

I remember the Staghorn well. There are a few of The Golden Raintrees around here; they are glorious!
we love this fern... it has something so special...maybe it grows here too?
What a beautiful healthy looking staghorn fern…..it’s ‘antlers’ are magnificently long so it is obviously in the right spot……and you are very lucky not to have light-fingered people in your neighbourhood, ones who would covet a great specimen like that
Take care

Is yours the only property with trees in your neighbourhood? What a great green space you have. Cathy is right about your good fortune that no one has filched the fern but maybe no one has a tree to hang it in. xxx Mr T
Hello,
You have a nice wooded lot now. I love the trees and the beautiful Staghorn. It does look healthy. Take care, enjoy your new week ahead.

Shaded and serene! Staghorn is a prized item - and heavy, I guess if someone did take a fancy to it, they'd need a big trailer and at least two sturdy men to shift it... which would cut down on any burglary stealth! YAM xx
In our city...in all neighborhoods, your fern would be stolen. What a wonderful plant!
I love that Staghorn fern....always have.
Love the views from your porch. You have more tree, as in your trees have sure grown if they were half that size. We have fewer trees, since we have had to cut them down. I miss them, but don't miss worrying about when it storms. The big one was really rotten in the middle.
I love the aerial view!!

I'd never heard of a staghorn before meeting you, but what a handsome fellow! Isn't Google Earth a fun tool? I'll bet your yard is the prettiest on the block.
I have always loved the look of the Staghorn. I even tried growing one, inside of course, but it didn’t do well.
Fun to see your place from Google Earth. I haven't looked at ours for a very long time.
Neat Stag Horn fern too. I remember you showing it before. It really has grown.
Yesterday was a success at Lynne's and today we have Dave's eye appointment. Here's hoping our car will start and get us there on time.

It looks like you have a green thumb to me no matter what you say. LOL
They look like HUGE broccoli.
I love the way your house is tucked in and surrounded by such pretty trees!!
When I first saw those Staghorn Ferns I was fascinated with them. Yours is a beauty as are the trees!
I love that view from space!
I've always enjoyed seeing the staghorn. It sure is impressive.
Love the arial shot of your house and all the trees around it.
I always love see the Staghorn Fern. That is a cool photo from Google Earth. The Golden Raintree looks pretty too!
