That wins most fantastic fern in California. I'm guessing that's a coastal soucal grown fern? How old? And how is it mounted?.

growing on a palm trunk (original mounting long gone)... actually this is over 10 miles inland in east Los Angeles county.

Is there a chance this is Platycerium grande?

not a good one... the owner is an expert in many areas of plant taxonomy and has written several books... but I am not saying he knows everything... but sure matches most other large P superbums I have seen in the area.
