No problem. Your English is better than my Flemish.

Regardless of your definition, Platycerium is an epiphyte. In nature it grows
on palm trees. Taxonomically it's a fern.

I don't know the flower (at university they teach a lot about classification systems but pityful we don't learn to recognize plants and flowers (we do learn about trees in the course dendrology) ), so it's perfectly possible that this plant is an epiphyte. I just wanted to give the definitions like I've seen them in my courses because there was some misunderstanding...
