My orchid window is filling up nicely mostly with angracoid orchids and some bulbophyllums and tolumnias. A few other plants are guests for now like the four paphs sanderianum who have been recently repotted in live sphagnum.

First pic is at the highest elevation.


Going down


A second tier


Angraecum leonis. Note the tag Al and the reflexion of my camera.


Mushrooms already growing on the piece of cherry trunk. Well I did want a natural look.


And finally making the new tags. I didn't want a bunch of white labels sticking out all over the place so I made new ones much less obvious.
These are called metal hole plugs. I painted them black so I could use my label printer with gold on black tape.


All plants are recent, so not many flowers to show yet. I also added much white light to make the scene more pleasant to the eye.

Hope you like it.

I love your window!

Very nice ensemble of species..... I'm wondering what you are going to do once it gets overgrown...(??) Some bulbos grow fast and IMHO, you might not have allocated enough space for them to ramble (unless you choose really miniature species with very short rhizomes in between bulbs).. Is the plant at the left (first pic) maxillaria tenuifolia? That can become huge in time...

Very nice. It would be wonderfully relaxing to look into as you are walking by. I wish I had a space to utilize like that.

The fungus growing on the wood wont pose any risk to the plants or the medium the plants are growing on / in?

There are also a few other plants like small phals and the paphs sanderianum. I'm not sure they will stay in there, But I'd like to accomodate one or two of the sanderianums if possible. Or they may be brought in as they flower. Many of the plants have hanging flower spikes. So that should give a good show.

That is very, very nice. I'd love to just sit and stare at that display. Even with few flowers it looks wonderful!

Wood growing fungi are harmless to orchid roots. I have whole wooden slabs covered in white fungus when it rains. The orchids appear none the worse..
