My Orchid Paludarium

[Fabolusus]

This is my second terrarium, and it has taken almost double the time of the first one! I wanted this one to have only orchids, and maybe some water plants. I'm hoping to have it almost completely planted after the Summer Orchid Fest at Parkside Orchid Nursery next weekend.

That is pretty sweet. Love your walls, too.

Hi Fab, that is a very elegant arrangement and the nighttime lighting is exceptional. Gold Star stuff!

Ok, so for coolness, on a scale of 1-10 this gets about ..... 47!!!!

As soon as I saw your case I started thinking of cool miniatures that might do well for you, things like Kinigidium delisiosa (a micro-phal), Harella odorata (another easy charming miniature that gets lots of flowers)....

I highly recommend one of the books on miniature orchids. It'll keep you busy for years with ideas.

A great setup and display.

Day or night it looks wonderful.

[Fabolusus]

Thanks everyone!

Kmarch- I definitely want the Harella. Is Kingidium deliciosa synonymous with Phal. deliciosa?

I'm speechless, this is beyond cool. I love it love it love it. I'll be borrowing some of your ideas when I build my own...thanks for sharing the pics.

That is absolutely awesome! Way to go Fabolusus!

I've made a lot of upgrades and moved some things around. So far everything seems to be taking.
