From the misty forests of Madagascar, Platycerium madagascariense unfolds like a living crown — its shield fronds glowing in soft emerald tones, guarding a heart that breathes with the rhythm of the tropics. A fern that feels both ancient and otherworldly, whispering stories of rain, roots, and sky.
