Cheilanthes Auriculata

Golden lip fern, scientifically known as Cheilanthes auriculata, is a striking member of the fern family that thrives in arid and rocky environments. This resilient plant is characterized by its unique, lip-like fronds that give it its common name and make it easily identifiable. Native to regions across the Americas, it is often found growing on limestone outcrops and in crevices where moisture is scarce. Despite its delicate appearance, the golden lip fern is highly adaptable and can survive in harsh conditions with minimal water. Its beauty and hardiness make it a popular choice for rock gardens and xeriscaping.
