Dumb question what is the name of the plant that needs no introduction?

That's a Lepanthes telipogoniflora-- it's not a dumb question if you're not interested in the group. It's quite a small plant with massive, unique flowers. Definitely in my top 3 favorite orchids ever.

ya I love that flower I am a huge fan of all the pleurothallids
thanks

Very nice, very pretty Pleurothalliddies :)

Thank you very much for the feedback. I posted an update on the blog-- which I encourage anyone interested in these to check out/follow-- of the prototype to the larger terrariums I have now. It's the oldest of the terrariums I have, so it's in a more mature state.

I'll update things as I have interesting things to report.

Do you have only 2 - 96 watt fluorescent compact light in this orchidarium?

The tallest one has 2, though some times in the summer when it gets very warm I only use 1. The shorter one I just run 1 all the time. If you see the blog post I just put up, that runs two 36 watt (if I recall correctly) T5 HO bulbs. The vast majority of the orchids I grow aren't high light, though those that are I just put closer to the lights. The bromeliads I grow color up fantastically and the pups have great shape, so the lights must be strong enough.

A few more photos I shot today.
