This giant terrarium housed miniature orchids at the SB Orchid Show. I am not sure if the orchids were grown in the case or if they were just arranged for display. The case itself was phenomenal- I particularly liked the lighting features running down the side of the case- they really helped illuminate all levels of the display.
The display was full of wonderful epiphyte miniature orchids- I was inspired to pick one up in the shop. The growers mount the epiphytes to a wooden board with wire and some spaghnum moss and the plants just thrive. 
I think these were the most stunning of the bunch- such a pretty cornflower blue.http://www.sborchidshow.com/
What a beauty! Thanks for such beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Blue Vandas, never seen it that color before. That terrarium is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHoly crapola! That's an amazing terrarium! A whole mountain of orchids. Absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteI want one. That lighting is particularly clever.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletethe blue one is Vanda coerulea. It's rather coomon but a flowering plant is pretty expensive in comparision to the common Phals.
I guess Phalaneopsis will thrive in this terrarium but Vandas won't. They require much more light than these few FL tubes could provide.
The lighting features on this terrarium are really impressive.
