Better late than never

Hello everyone, I have been following this board for a while now and reading up on setting up a terrarium. I haven't made an intro post yet so I will do it now and also show the new orchids I received today in the mail! I hope I can post that here in the intro section w/o a problem. Anyways, I'm originally from San Francisco and have spent many recent years near Santa Barbara. Recently, I have moved to Switzerland and have been adjusting to new life in another country.

Now for the good part, I ordered a Phal Bellina 'Ponkan' (in bloom), Nanodes schlechterianum (in spike), Haraella odorata (2 spikes!), Aeranthes grandiflora (in spike), Dendrobium rhodosticum (in bloom), and a Bulbophyllum putidum.

I thought I recognized the name! Welcome anyways. Really nice plants you have there. Looking forward to photos of the blossoms.

Hi, and welcome!

O.K., gotta be honest here. All your plants are nice, look healthy and I'm sure you can make them happy.
However, the P. bellina has stolen my heart and I can't see past it!

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I hope that I can keep these plants up the the level that they are in now, especially with my bad track record so far. I think in my previous place, I didn't have enough light. Now, I have very heavy evening light and will have a terrarium for those high humidity ones.

I really like the nanodes too, it's so cute! I hope the Phal will keep blooming since it looks like it still has some more buds left in that spike! I cannot take blooming credit for any of these though....

Lily and to the OB !!! I just love the Phal bellina. I've got one just like yours in spike and can't wait to see it bloom. Glad you decided to join the forum and with your chids. Happy growing !!!!
