Default tropical atrium

I cannot find any ideas to help me to set up my tropical atrium (7' x 12') in my Sarasota home. I would love to put in a "weeping wall" or misting wall possibly made out of featherstone and adorn it with orchids. I notice that a lot of people display orchids on shelves,ect. but I want to make up a "habitat" for them. Has anyone done this in this forum? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have never done anything like that but i think its a great idea!!....there should be someone here that has a few hints for you.....the weeping wall sounds interesting, but orchids need to dry out between waterings so you might have to channel the water away from them...
