I am waiting for the LECA to arrive so that I can actually get things set up, but in the mean time, I've gone ahead and attached things to the wood pieces that are going to be placed inside. Here's what they look like so far:
A view of the left side (minus a couple of things on the far left which are shown in the close-up shot below):
From left to right, front: Masdevallia tovarensis, Zootrophion dayanum, Restrepia brachypus. Slightly behind these, on another piece of wood is Dryadella hirtzii - still in flower!, Masdevallia scabrilinguis, Dryadella edwallii, and Masdevallia barleana. Behind all of those, the big one at the back is Masdevallia coccinea. The piece of wood in front on the left has: Masdevallia Tuakau Candy, and another Zootrophion dayanum.
The right hand side:
This side starting in the front left, you can see again Masdevallia Tuakau Candy and the other Zootrophion dayanum from the previous picture, then Restrepia dodsonii, Platystele oxyglossa, and in the far back corner Restrepia guttulata 'Fyn Get'. Hanging on a tree fern slab is a young plant of Oncidium ornithorhynchum, just forming its fourth pseudobulb. Outside of the tank, you can see two old Masdie hybrids: Chelsonii (amabilis X veitchiana (1880) Williamson R. J) and Bocking Hybrid
(cucullata X veitchiana (1899) Ai, David).
And this is the close up of what's down in the front left-hand corner:
Top left is the first Zootrophion dayanum - still a young unflowered plant. Behind that you can just see Restrepia brachypus. Front left is another Dryadella edwallii with the dark green leaves, and to the right is an unknown plant that came labelled as Pleurothallis pseudopellucida.
I've taken to calling this tank the Pleurodarium.
