Bird’s Nest Ferns
A clump of bird’s nest ferns, Asplenium australasicum, amongst the tree of the Illawarra Fly. The bird’s nest fern is epiphytic, an air-plant, it grows on trees or rocks but with no roots to the ground. They get their nutrients from air, rain water and decaying matter around them

Wellington Harbour Tree Fern
The tree fern sculpture on the waterfront in Wellington. This was also seen in the More Wellington post on BrizBunny posted much closer to the time.
Update: No sooner do I hit post and I discover that these are in fact Nikau Palms, the most southerly of all palms trees, and a New Zealand native. These 10m tall metal versions were designed by Ian Athfield as part of the Wellington Library design.
