But there will be sacrifices
Carnivorous plants (even small musketeers) need sacrifices. It will be Daphnia moina. Already launched 3 packages of daphnia eggs.

And that beautiful little Sophronitis! You were very patient with the Vanda. Surprise! Nice color. I am surprised to see a hybrid standard Vanda among your little species. Truly a tropical paradise.

Thank you I had a lot of vandas hybrids (ascocendas) 14 years ago, they blooming very well. But I lost them in 2013. In 2019 I tried again. Now I have vandarium Little space under bright lamp and mysting system for 4 vandas hybrids.



One of them is "Dino dream". Now it biggest hybrid, but don't bloom. Another pink hybrid, about vendor said that it blooms easily, don't bloom.
I have a lot of nanovandas - Schoenorchis

Hoffmannseggella milleri x Sophronitis miniata

[Roberta]

A wonderful show! "Hoffmannseggella milleri x Sophronitis miniata"... Ah, the naming wars. The milleri used to be Laelia, now all of them are Cattleya. Simpler, but quite useless as far as saying anything useful about the plants. <sigh>

[Akhenaten]

Thank you
I know, all they now Cattleyas. But brasilian vendors use old nomenclature. And I agree. Because Hoffmannseggella mean rock Laelia, Sophronitis mean charming microbes in Cattleya's family
