My Orchidarium is an Inside winter garden.

It should have plants that can live together.

I have 9 very small  Tillandsia (airplants)  so I have mounted these on a twig and am testing them

Then I have 6 mini Phalenopsis. These are hybrids so this is too a case of trying.

I am visiting next week a specialist on Orchids. He is a 2 hour drive away.

So I shall listen to what he has to say and buy 1-2 plants from him.

I think one has to understand how Orchids grow in the nature to grow them here.

It is a challenge.

Annmarie I have done all the learning.

I wanted to know if the money I was investing in this project was worth while.

The glass case which is 60×40x50 and cost me Sfr.102 

Then I bought for 1 mini orchid, a hand blown glass with a small drainage for 60Fr.

I had been trying the mini orchids  and preferred them to the tall Phalaenopsis.

I read about how to grow these flowers in Google.

There were many articles all telling another tale

So I now I am ready to try myself.

It is at the moment not Orchid time, but the next winter will come and then…

I will see if I can make a photo next week but I am not sure about filming through glass.

I have 9 flowers out on my orchid now and many more to come. It looks great and I've got many more months to enjoy it. I wonder if you have been able to take a photo of your Orchidarium yet, Doreen? I'm so looking forward to seeing your work of art.
