Platystele vellota

This one is growing in a vivarium under 2 13W compact flourscent bulbs about 12" from the bulbs. It is packed in the corner of 2 pieces of driftwood with some sphagnum moss filler. It gets misted once a day and a good watering once a week, I think it would like more water than I'm giving it thou.

This one is being a real pain to photograph mainly due to the *redder* bulbs used on this vivarium. But is also in the back middle.....the camera is inside the tank right now . Well I've got the exposure times long enough I can't walk around anymore without blurry pictures .

Had to move the saltwater tanks lights over to get the flowers the proper color. Now I just need one in focus! Macro photography can be maddening at times.

To give some prospective of size the black thing I'm using to hold the flower up is a bread bag tie.

The 1st picture is more in focus while the 2nd picture is much closer to the actual flower colors. So blend them together .
