On Jan 9, 2003, ButterflyGardnr from Orlando, FL (Zone 9b) wrote:
This plant occurs commonly on live oak branches and occassionally on other tree species. It was growing on a cedar in my yard. The fern shrivels up and turns brown during dry times and revives, turning a bright green, when it rains. It is an epiphytic fern that spreads by spores and divisions of the rhizomes.
