my plants – BettSplendens Tumblr Evac

Bad photo because it’s cloudy outside and therefore I can’t get any natural light, but I made a tiny paludarium- basically a hybrid of an aquarium and a terrarium. This one’s in a 6" wide bowl meant to hold candles. Pretty sure water and plants are, like, the opposite of candles.
The water portion is mostly full of Java moss and a single Java fern. The land portion, which is contained in a bag made of Hygrolon (a plastic mesh designed to wick water), is made of peat moss and full of bladderwort. The bladderwort hasn’t sent up any new leaves yet, but it should soon.

Out of order somehow.

The weird shaped one with the trumpety white flower is an Angraecum distichum, about half an inch across.

The dark purple orchid with the dangling leaves and babboon-face-shaped flowers is a Lepanthes Gargoyla, leaves one inch across at the widest point.

The two orchids stuck together with the yellow flower are Haraella odonata, the flower is half an inch tall.

The plant in the first pic with the striped flower is a Dendrobium lichenastrum, and its leaves are about an inch long, at most.

And last but not least, the cluster with the greenish pronged blooms that you have to look closely for is Bulbophyllum alagense large form, and its leaves are about three fourths of an inch tall, not counting the bulbs.

This is a Ceratostylis pleurothallis, the smallest orchid I own, in bloom. That flower is about a quarter of an inch wide, and the plant is full-sized.
