Anthopterus wardii and Disterigma rimbachii

[Tindomul]

Both of these plants I recieved as cuttings rather recently and both are types of tropical blueberries. I placed them in a rooting vial (I call it that), and after about two months they both had enough roots to plant them. The thing is, they both flowered before I planted them into my new exoterra terrarium. When I recieved them neither had any indication of flowering.
I placed the plants in their rooting vials inside my exoterra terrarium when I first recieved them to get them to root, but I'm happy with flowers and roots too!

Anthopterus wardii, I fell in love with this plant many years ago when I first noticed it at the New York Botanical Gardens. I know its a huge vining plant, but I just don't have anywhere else to put it, and it likes my tank. So I figure I'll just have to train it and prune it aggresively.

Disterigma rimbachii
This one will grow to be a small epiphytic bush. I can definetly keep this one under control.

For reference, here is the whole tank.
Anthopterus wardii is in the lower left hand corner, and Disterigma rimbachii is in the lower middle behind the red flowers.
