Blechnopsis Pyrophila

Fire fern, scientifically known as Blechnopsis pyrophila, is a striking plant native to the tropical regions of South America. Its name derives from its ability to thrive in areas affected by fire, showcasing remarkable resilience to extreme conditions. This fern features vibrant, lance-shaped fronds that display a fiery red hue, especially when exposed to sunlight. It is often found in shaded, moist environments near streams or in forest understories. Despite its fiery appearance, the fire fern is a delicate species that requires specific care to flourish.
