My own 🎉 Present!
Hi guys!
Maybe you can help me to find the perfect BD Gift.
Requirements:
1) Can adapt to different conditions, but mostly cold to warm and humid (even terrarium).
2) A pretty plant that could be decorative with an elegant structure, even without been in bloom.
What would you recommend?
And, if you have a picture or a link will be great.
THANKS

Size limitation? Mediocalcar decoratum is a neat-looking plant which gets covered in little red and yellow flowers when it blooms.

Pretty easy to find in the US, but I know that you have challenges in finding some of the more obscure plants. But this one is highly adaptable.

I would think in Mallorca you could grow certain Vandas, Cattleyas, and Dendrobiums outside all year.
I was going to suggest Vanda falcata as well.

Thanks ShadeFlower! Not sure what I did wrong. Left right after this post to go have cataract surgery. Obviously it was needed. ![ROFL](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/rofl3.gif)
