Plant of the Day

Friday 16 January 2026

In the recently planted winter garden at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, London, the white stems of Betula utilis subsp. jacquemontii 'Doorenbos' (Himalayan birch) contrast against a path side planting of the fern Polypodium vulgare (common polypody) and a groundcover of Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Kokuryū' (mondo grass, black mondo).

Polypodium lepidotrichum sori (syn Pleopeltis lepidotricha) by Richard Ellis Via Flickr: Polypodium lepidotrichum sori. I'm a sucker for repeating patterns in nature. This epiphytic fern is native to Mexico. #Polypodiumlepidotrichum #Polypodium #lepidotrichum #Pleopeltislepidotricha #Pleopeltis #lepidotricha #fern #sori #sorus #CUgreenhouse #botany
