I took this picture of a beautiful bird's nest at the entrance of the Makiling Botanical Gardens at the University of the Philippines - Los Banos, Laguna. I was entralled by its size and majesty. Bird's nest is a kind of fern known scientifically as Asplenium nidus. They thrive on high humidity. The higher the humidity, the longer the fronds. They rarely reach more than 18 inches in height indoors.
