New epiphyte videos

17/9/2014

There is nothing more magical in a documentary than David Attenborough talking about epiphytes! Here is a BBC video that really captures some of the fascination around these plants:

And here are some unexpectedly abundant epiphytes in the UK:

And finally, we found this relatively new one about some epiphyte research in Indonesia. There is a blank bit at the end but the rest of it is really interesting:

I work with NZ's native vascular epiphytes at the University of Waikato. I completed an MSc on epiphyte ecology and the shrub epiphyte Griselinia lucida and have recently published the Field Guide to NZ's Epiphytes, Vines & Mistletoes.

For me, the highlights of epiphyte research are the many unknowns, the amazing way that these plants survive in the canopy, and of course tree climbing!
