Guess what?!?
I made a mini orchid order and they arrived today.
They look terrific! I'm extremely pleased. I'll update with more photos of them once I have them in the lantern.
But since I'm so excited....



Ascocentrum pusillum


Angraecum didieri


Haraella retrocalla, I got two of them


Schoenorchis fragrans


Aerangis punctata


Pleurothallis leptifolia

Here they are! The Angraecum is too firmly mounted for me to remove.
And the Ascocentrum is.... it looked a little large in there as it was. Not alot of room to grow.
Plus apparently it would do well here outside year round. Which makes me think it wouldn't like my lantern too much.

So I decided not to put them in the lantern, but use them in my next project.

And the second haraella I also decided to use in yet another project.


Anyhow. I'm still trying to figure out how to take decent photos of this thing.
But here we go.

From the front. Not the main view. You only really see it when you walk in to my bedroom.



Side view. This is the view you see most of the time.



Close up from the front. You can see all four of them. I still have alot of room lol.



The Schoenorchis on the right, the punctata on the left. Very hard to see but it's in that dark bit by the mushroom.



The pleurothallis.... it actually way cuter than I thought it would be. It was also my very first mini orchid that I had ever seen and I fell in love with it. And two years later I own it!
So... not sure if it'll like it in there but... here I go!
My plan for that one is that the log its mounted on slowly leaches water when filled. So I'm hoping that will keep the roots more moist and cool.



My haraella. You can't see it but the very bottom of the mount is in a small dish of water. I've read multiple times they like that. So I figured I would try it.

Are those oyster mushrooms growing? If so you would have a mini cottage garden: beauties and edibles planted side by side.

Haha no...
I wanted glowing mushrooms... but not wanting to delve into culturing mushrooms yet I decided to make some.
They are polymer clay.
They look real enough from a few feet back.
