Serendipitous supply
When the Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust wanted to give a gift of plants, locally sourced from Rarangi Beach, east of Blenheim, they came to Oratia. Not only could we provide an eco-sourced species, it was also a plant which had since disappeared from the region!

This is the Trust's story.

Asplenium bulbiferum
Height: 0.75m;  Spread: 0.75m
Hen and chicken fern (Fern)
Graceful, deep green fronds which develop tiny bulbils or "Chickens". Excellent pot plant indoors or in shade. However some plants sold as this species are in fact a non-native sterile hybrid A.x lucrosum (A. bulbiferum x A. dimorphum).
