Beautiful display piece I'm with Becca and gmdiaz - I stare too!! And I thought I was the only one ... every morning I wake up, grab my coffee and cereal, debate whether I should go brush my teeth and change, decide to stare a little bit into the tank...go brush my teeth...go stare at the tank...remember about abandoned cereal...go stare at the tank...realize I'm 30 minutes late - panic - change quickly - pass by tank...stare at the tank

Mine is no where near as pretty as yours though I especially like how the door is very stylish (definitely beats reaching in to 'putter' from the top for sure!)

Very nice acquisition, to be sure! I remember when my custom built tank got here. It's so large it took two peoploe to get it to the basement. But it has been worth it so far. I have 35 'chids in mine so far.

I solved this problem by putting one of my tanks in the bathroom! Gives me something to gaze at while brushing my teeth So far, I've had nothing but positive comments from my dentist.

Very nice orchidarium Sheridan! I'm very jealous! And I, like everyone else, stares too! I don't have much time in the morning so I do mine in the evening. Your orchids just look so pretty in that tank!

Beauty, Patience & Tranquility

Very nice Sheridan!
But what is standing to the left on the windowsill? Is it the worlds smallest orchidarium for tiny, tiny micro orchids?

Magnus I could not understand what you were talking about so I had to go back and look at the No that is not a mini orchidarium it houses a very small bug eating plant. Can't remember what the name is but I took the top off and it sits on the upper shelf of the orchidarium in hopes to catch a few gnats It really likes it in there and its getting bigger.

Thanks for the positive comments
