Welcome to the OrchidBoard Kevin! Do you keep any animals in your vivarium? I have a few vivs myself with amphibians and orchids. One of them is just an orchidarium with a frog and a toad. I'de love to hear more about your micro miniature orchids, as I am partial to miniatures.

Welcome Kevin..I can't say I'm into minis...I like my orchids to be flamboyant, however, I still look forward to pics of your plants and set-up...space is tight for me so minis might have to be the way to go.

Todd, I used to feel the same way...and I now have a number of minis in my collection! Same thing happened with paphs..."they're nice but..." and now I have six!!!
I've definitely evolved along with my orchids and it's thanks to the wide spectrum of members and plants here on OB...  |

Welcome Kevin (I have several friends with that first name so if I cinfuse you with one of them, forgive me!) I also have gotten into minis especially species (duh). I grow most of mine in a terrarium and am learning along the way - trying not to kill too many of them!.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
