Ken,
Thank you for this informative article. I have a small Common Staghorn Fern (Platycerium bifurcatum) but I have seen some really huge plants in collections and at botanical gardens, some so large and heavy that it takes heavy chains to hang them. I have just one small staghorn and a large fern that I've always known as Elkhorn Fern (Microsorum punctatum) which is what the label read when I purchased it as a small plant sometime in 2009 ... but now I'm wondering if perhaps it's the Climbing Birds Nest Fern/ Dwarf Elkhorn Fern (Microsorum punctatum 'Grandiceps') ? There are currently no photos in our database but I see our database has Polypodium grandiceps listed as a synonym. This is my plant in question, do you think it could be the Climbing Birds Nest?
