Iconic Stag Garden | Discovery | Gardening Australia

Jerry visits a plant collector whose passion is epiphytic Platycerium ferns.

Sheldon McLeod says the collecting bug was picked up from his father and grandfather.

The two best-know Australian plants in the Platycerium family are Staghorn and Elkhorn. When Sheldon found out there were other species in the genus, he just had to find them.
