LOL Shadow, I have all sorts of stuff in my greenhouse stuck here and there in nooks and crannies. This planting bed is the "back bed" of a bed that stretches about 30 feet +/-. The dividing line between the front and back bed is a large Heliconia bihai "Chocolate Dancer". In this same general area are a big red Etlingera (torch ginger), a dwarf powderpuff, some immature palms and a few other neato thingies.
Most of the unusual "accents" I put in the greenhouse are things like fossils we pick up off the beaches, driftwood, seashells, the colorful back shells of crabs, stuff like that. This last time at the beach we found a perfect bleached specimen of a pelican skull, which makes a nice little "found object" for decoration.

Wow, its like an orchid display at a judging orchid show! Very beautiful! Great work, I think that these sorts of displays is really the reason we all keep orchids. And the more ways we find to show them off, the more beautiful they become!!!

May be it is nice and perfect but it is still a skull. I would be afraid of ghosts in a greenhouse.
