Live miniature orchid bonsai tree
 

So it is finally done - been in my head for quite some time. Live Bonsai tree with miniature orchids. This is Fukien Tea tree, tropical evergreen from China, that loves hot weather and daily misting (which is the best fit for the miniature orchids). I did mount all possible Pleurothallis miniature species, and the piece of Lepanthopsis astrophore. Will see how this will go, but it looks great!

I agree. Looks very impressive.

Impressive

Many thanks, I took it yesterday to the Coalition of orchid species where I had my speech about miniature orchids and everyone loved it ;-)

That is a great idea! Really looks cool, can't wait to see it after they've grown into it.

That is wonderful! Such a great idea!

Tommy,
Now that is what I call one Fantastic looking specimen of a Bonzai tree. Look forward to future pictures.

Wish I had know about your speech would like very much to hear and meet you, let me know next time a day or two before the event, thanks!!

Many thanks Jack, it was my first speech, I was invited to do it last month from the coalition of orchid species, it was at Fairchild Gardens. I'll give you heads up if they invite me again, it was about miniatures and cold growing species in Miami.

What a great idea!

Stunning!

What an interesting idea. Hope they love their home on the tree because it looks fantastic!

Very cool idea. The bonsai tree itself is fantastic and a very nice addition with the orchids.

How cool !!!
You should think about an open house day :-)

That is wonderful, such a great idea. I can't wait to see when things are blooming on it.

Many thanks everyone :-) Will update when I see some blooms.

Just ran across this thread. Any updates available by any chance? :-)

I missed this when you posted it - that's awesome! It looks great! How's everything doing now?

Hi everyone, sorry, but very little time these days. All orchids are super happy and growing, one of the Pleurothallis is in spike for past couple weeks. I will try to take some pics and post later this month :-)

Beautiful! I'd been thinking about doing the same thing when my ficus (weeping and tiger bark) get larger. Can't wait to try it!

Wow! That's gorgeous!

Amazing! You are very creative! Can't wait to see the flowers !
