Thailand is home to several beautiful national parks that showcase the country's diverse natural beauty. The Doi Phu Kha National Park is located near the border between Thailand and Laos. The National Park is also home to the highest mountain peak and beautiful waterfalls. Sapan Waterfall, also known as Mae Charim Waterfall, is a beautiful waterfall surrounded by lush green mountains and lush natural landscapes. The waterfall is located deep in the mountains and is surrounded by lush tropical jungle, making for an enchanting landscape. The waterfall consists of several levels, with water flowing down large rock formations. Each tier of the waterfall offers great views and swimming opportunities. The sound of running water and the fresh mountain air create a serene and tranquil environment where you can relax and enjoy the natural beauty. To reach the waterfall, you must follow a path that winds through the lush jungle. It can be an adventurous journey, but the reward of reaching the waterfall is totally worth it. Along the way, enjoy the region's abundant flora and fauna, including exotic birds and wildlife. If you want to experience the beauty of nature and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Sapan Waterfall in Nan Province, Thailand is a great destination to visit.
The bird's nest fern, also known as nest fern or Asplenium nidus, is a tropical fern species found in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia. This fern is known for its large, glossy leaves that form a distinctive funnel shape, similar to a bird's nest. The bird's nest fern usually grows on logs, rocks or other vertical surfaces. It is an epiphytic plant, meaning it has no roots in the soil, but instead attaches itself to another plant or substrate to obtain water and nutrients. At waterfalls, the bird's nest fern can often be found on moist tree stumps and rocks where it thrives in the humid environment. The leaves of the bird's nest fern are large, feathery and bright green in color. They can reach a length of about 1 to 2 meters. The leaf surface is smooth and glossy, and the leaf margins are often slightly wavy or curled. The leaves grow in a rosette-shaped arrangement, with young leaves unfolding from the center of the rosette. The bird's nest fern is known for its graceful and ornamental appearance, and is often grown as a houseplant for its attractive foliage.
Doi Phu Kha National Park, dat bekend staat om zijn prachtige watervallen, weelderige bossen en spectaculaire uitzichten. Heerlijk koel weer het hele jaar door. Het Nationaal Park is ook de thuisbasis van, de hoogste bergtop in de provincie Nan. De Sapan-waterval, ook bekend als de Mae Charim-waterval, is een prachtige waterval gelegen omringd door weelderige groene bergen en weelderige natuurlijke landschappen. De waterval ligt diep in de bergen en wordt omgeven door weelderige tropische jungle, wat zorgt voor een betoverend landschap. De waterval bestaat uit verschillende niveaus, met water dat langs grote rotsformaties naar beneden stroomt. Elke laag van de waterval biedt een prachtig uitzicht en zwemgelegenheid. Het geluid van stromend water en de frisse berglucht creëren een serene en rustige omgeving waarin 'je kunt ontspannen en genieten van de natuurlijke schoonheid. Om de waterval te bereiken, moet je een pad volgen dat door de weelderige jungle slingert. Het kan een avontuurlijke tocht zijn, maar de beloning van het bereiken van de waterval is absoluut de moeite waard. Onderweg kun je genieten van de overvloedige flora en fauna van de regio, inclusief exotische vogels en wilde dieren. De vogelnestvaren staat bekend om zijn grote, glanzende bladeren die een opvallende trechtervorm vormen, vergelijkbaar met een vogelnest. De vogelnestvaren groeit meestal op boomstammen, rotsen of andere verticale oppervlakken. Het is een epifytische plant, wat betekent dat hij geen wortels in de grond heeft, maar zich in plaats daarvan vasthecht aan een andere plant of substraat om water en voedingsstoffen te verkrijgen. Bij watervallen kan de vogelnestvaren vaak worden gevonden op vochtige boomstronken en rotsen waar hij gedijt in de vochtige omgeving. De bladeren van de vogelnestvaren zijn groot, veerachtig en heldergroen van kleur. Ze kunnen een lengte bereiken van ongeveer 1 tot 2 meter. Het bladoppervlak is glad en glanzend, en de bladranden zijn vaak licht golvend of gekruld. De vogelnestvaren staat bekend om zijn sierlijke en decoratieve uiterlijk, en wordt vaak gekweekt als kamerplant vanwege zijn aantrekkelijke bladeren.

Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Asplenium nidus es una especie de helecho de la familia de las aspleniáceas.
Es un helecho de mediano tamaño, achaparrado y hojas lustrosas. Es nativo a las selvas lluviosas de Nueva Gales del Sur y Queensland en Australia a lo largo de la Gran Cordillera Divisoria, paralela a la Costa Este de dicho país. También se la puede encontrar (aunque de manera menos común) en Nueva Guinea, zonas tropicales del Sudeste Asiático y África, Tahití y Hawái. Los ejemplares de mayor tamaño se dan hacia el norte de Queensland (donde pueden alcanzar el sorprendente tamaño de 2.2 m de altura y 2 m de envergadura), mientras que los menores estarían en la costa central de Nueva Gales del Sur, aunque hay teorías que sugieren que el segundo es otro tipo de especie con otra genética diferente.
En la naturaleza es de hábito epifito o litófito, y se lo encuentra creciendo sobre los troncos de los árboles (sin parasitarlos) en los sustratos bajos de las selvas, donde predomina la sombra, lo que lo hace una buena planta de interior. Pero a veces también puede encontrarse directamente en el suelo.
Como todos los helechos, se reproduce por soros que aparecen en las frondes fértiles.
Su nombre común es helecho "nido de pájaro" por su forma. Este nombre se traduce del inglés "Bird's Nest Fern", aunque también se le conoce como "Crow's Nest Fern" = helecho "nido de cuervo", por su ditintiva forma cuando se da en libertad.

Asplenium nidus is an epiphytic species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae, native to tropical southeastern Asia, eastern Australia, Hawaii, Polynesia, Christmas Island, India, and eastern Africa. It is known by the common names bird's-nest fern (a name shared by some other aspleniums) or simply nest fern.
Asplenium nidus forms large simple fronds visually similar to banana leaves, with the fronds growing to 50–150 centimetres (20–59 in) long and 10–20 centimetres (3.9–7.9 in) broad, with occasional individuals up to 6.6 feet (two meters) in length by up to two feet (61 centimeters) width. They are light green, often crinkled, with a black midrib, and exhibit circinate vernation. Spores develop in sori on the underside of the fronds. These sori form long rows extending out from the midrib on the back of the outer part of the lamina (frond). The fronds roll back as they brown and create a massive leaf nest in the branches and trunks of trees.
Asplenium nidus is native to east tropical Africa (in Tanzania, inclusive of the Zanzibar Archipelago); temperate and tropical Asia (in Indonesia; East Timor; the island of Kyushu, and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan; Malaysia; the Philippines; Taiwan; and Thailand); and in Australasia (in the northern part of Queensland in Australia).
Asplenium nidus can survive either as an epiphyte or terrestrial plant, but typically grows on organic matter. This fern often lives in palm trees, where it collects water and humus in its leaf-rosette. It thrives in warm, humid areas in partial to full shade. It dislikes direct sunlight and likes to be in full shade on the north facing garden wall.
Asplenium nidus has been used locally in folk medicine for asthma, sores, weakness, and halitosis.
The sprouts of A. nidus are eaten in Taiwan, known as 山蘇, pronounced shansu. (山 meaning "mountain", as in mountain vegetables). They may be stir-fried or boiled and are a traditional aboriginal vegetable, now popular enough to appear even on the menus of chain restaurants.

Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is a tropical, slow growing, evergreen, perennial, epiphyte native to Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. It inhabits rain forests and is found in soils or on branches of trees. It belongs to the Spleenwort family of ferns, whose name refers to the historical belief that these plants had medicinal value for the spleen.

Asplenium nidus is an epiphytic species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae, native to tropical southeastern Asia, eastern Australia, Hawaii, Polynesia,[citation needed] Christmas Island,[citation needed] India and eastern Africa. It is known by the common names bird's-nest fern (a name shared by other aspleniums) or simply nest fern.
ʻĒkaha, ʻĒkaha kuahiwi or Bird's nest fern
Aspleniaceae (Spleenwort family)
Indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands (all islands except Niʻihau & Koʻoholawe)
Oʻahu (Cultivated; Oʻahu origin)
Newly planted young ʻēkaha, barely 10 inches from tip to tip, is provided space to grow to full potential in the rich soil of my fern garden. These magnificent naturally ferns grow as terrestrial, lithophytes or epiphytes.

Hawaiian Name
ʻĒkaha kuahiwi means "mountain ʻēkaha."
The dark midribs of ʻēkaha fronds were woven by early Hawaiians into lau hala mats and other objects of lau hala to provide pattern and color contrast.
The ferns were ceremonially planted to cover residual stumps after a tree had been felled for canoe (waʻa) making.
Medicinally, a liquid made from ʻēkaha leaf shoots and mixed with other plants was used to treat children and infants with ʻea or thrush and pāʻaoʻao, a disease which physically weakens. Shoots with other plants were pounded and liquid squeezed into mouths of children with mouth sores or general weakness. An ointment was also made from the leaves and mixed with other ingredients and liquid was used for ulcers or body sores (pūhō kolokolo kokoʻole).
Etymology
The genus name Asplenium is from the Latin asplenum, spleenwort. Ancient Greeks believed that this fern could cure spleen diseases.
The Latin specific epithet nidus, nest, in reference to the nest-like appearance of this fern. Interestingly, besides being terrestrial, as shown in the above photo, this fern is found as an epiphyte, perhaps giving the impression of a bird's nest among the branches.
