Our friend Graeme, who was staying with us over Easter noticed something that had escaped my eyes - about half a dozen baby staghorns (or elkhorns, too early to tell yet) which were growing on one of our jacaranda trees at the entrance to our place. This is fantastic and I hope they grow quickly - can't wait for them to grow and epiphytically enhance the jacarandas.
It's quite remarkable to think that some spore was floating around and hit the tree just when conditions were perfect for them to attach and start growing. All of these are located on the south-facing side of the jacaranda.
