RIPPLE DELIGHT

Emerald Ripple (Peperomia caperata) looks like fancy corrugated iron, but produces flowers that unfurl like felt mittens.

Australia has an abundance of tiny native ferns, many of which won’t be available at your local nursery. Try shopping online at Verdigris Nursery (verdigris.com.au) or Fern Acres Nursery (fernacres.com.au), or search online for markets that sell ferns.
