Mike, I have just the space for you. Pack your bags and come on down for a week and help me transform it this summer.

Great job!

Great job!
Thanks, Harry. There's also a thread on DB with a little more info. You've made some really cool displays, in your GH from what I've seen. Did you finish the epiphyte branch you were working on?

Haha, I'm pretty sure I would have a heck of a time trying to figure out what few plants in your collection I wouldn't want to use and how to fit them all (think super dense planting!). That, and how I would fit all those cuttings in my pockets!

Seriously, I'd come down in a second, but this last one took nearly two months. All depends on what you're goal is though...

Did you recognize your A. friedrichsthalii on the right? I thought it wouldn't mind being set free.

I hope you get/make one some day, there's nothing like watching your own naturalistic scape evolve and grow over time.

Getting to pick through some of my favorite plants and mix that kind of variety (I'm a tropical plant enthusiast first) was the next best part, after getting the hardscape concept out of my head and into 3D... I haven't done this enough times that I can be sure, before it's finished, that it'll look very much like my imagined ending. This one was a huge learning experience though.

Cheers,
Mike

Made it over to the GH today and took a few shots, so here is a little update.

The plants seem to be happy and even the aquatics are doing alright. One of the frogs that is over-wintering in the GH was present for a photo shoot.

















I took a video also, but had to cut it due to upload size restrictions. Not sure why, but I had trouble with posting just the two video links and had to post two of the second clip...
