Default Miniatures mounted on drift wood

Hi guys,

Here is my epiphytic orchid display. In my exoterra terrarium I put in some drift wood in hopes of it getting lots of moss and growing some epiphytes. I used Folius moss mix and some bits of moss I had in other tanks. There seems to be a lot of Sphagnum in folius moss mix. The growth so far has been good. Here is a pic of before and present.

This is not a picture of the whole tank, just a detail of the branch holding the epiphytes.
Can you find all the blooms?

Yep, that's one bloom, three more to go. And thanks for the kind comment.

The red dot in the middle and the strings of red cascading from the top?

Very pretty. One day I hope to have something half as pretty

Hi all. THanks for the comments. The flowers are the Restrepia brachypus to the right. Just left of it and little below is Ophidion pluerothallopsis, and above it is 1 tiny tiny tiny very hard to see Platystele stenostacya flower. On the left side are many purple blooms of Lepanthopsis astrophora.

The red bud in the center is a yet unopened Dendrobium cuthbertsonii. Can't wait for it to open!

THe red pendant plant is not in flower.

What is the "tail" hanging down from near the top of the branch, it is about 1/3 of the way over from the left hand side of the tank ... the right most flower of the Lepanthopsis astrophora looks like it is just barely touching it?
