Where did you get that picture Steve? Freycinetia is definitely on my want list. Some of the smaller ones probably would grow well in a viv and they should be easy as houseplants too just like Pandanus.

Look at this one. It has something like a shingling growth habit...

Freycinetia sp. (Litchi-like)

Wow!

picture was taken at the display garden of tropical gardens of maui. they sell online but dont list that species. i bet they would root and pot one up if you were to put an order together. they also have some nice palms. and the pic you put up is a very cool looking one as well.

That is a NOID fern that I got at the grocery store. I wish I knew what it was(???). If I can figure it out I might try to find a wholesale source because it is perfect for these setups. It grows really fast and it also has a nice upright growth habit.

Does anybody out there have an opinion about what it might be?
