Floral atelier Harlem Flo opened on Frederick Douglass Boulevard at 123rd Street. In addition to what one would expect in a flower shop, Harlem Flo carries a good selection of large African cactus, palms, thick aloe, and a strange plant that grows from a board hung on the wall. It's the one in the center picture.

The plant is striking, especially as it grows out of a piece of wood.

I asked the owner the hanging plant's name and confirmed the spelling of what he gave me, Stargon Fern, before leaving. This may be the phonetic pronunciation in another language, as I cannot find it online.

I was hoping to look up some facts on the plant, but seeing as I cannot find it with the spelling I have, I can only relate what the shop owner told me. He said that to water the plant, it has to be fully submerged about once a week.

PROGRESS! Melita tracked down the plant in question. It is a Staghorn Fern.
