Howeara 'Lava Burst'

Back in May I set up a terrarium for miniature orchids:



Those which were flowering at that time have finished but I am really pleased that one of the younger plants I purchased has started to bloom.

One or two have failed miserably as the conditions in the terrarium probably didn't suit them. That is part of the learning curve, working out which orchids will thrive in there. One of the originals is producing a new flower spike so  I look forward to others flowering over the next year or two. It will take a while as I bought young plants to help keep the cost down.

  1. This looks a very complicated business. It looks as if it is bearing fruit or flowers.

  2. Lovely orchids. One of the best things about the flowers, aside from their amazing exotic beauty, is how long they last. What a great project.
