It looks fantastic. I really like the cages you built to mount your orchids on.

These orchidariums are all new to me and I'm definitely intrigued. Yours has got to be one of the most dramatic and interesting I've seen so far. I love the way the lights are reflecting on these plants, love the setup of the plants with the spagh in these tube shaped mounds...just love what I'm looking at. I don't have the extra cash flow to buy one but how I wish I did. Your setup is fantastic.
