Anybody Alive And Growing Anything?

Photo of my biggest terrarium for attention. Things are less colourful currently; this is from about a year ago. I always enjoy my terrarium the most in February with the green contrasting with the Canadian winter. It’s especially white and snowy this week.

We're growing and directing vines all around our house.

My Earina Autumnalis orchid flowered I have also got lots of other plants Im proud of, but I'm away from home so this is the only photo I've got.

Your terrarium is looking beautiful! I'm planning on making a large cooled terrarium for alpine plants sometime. All my current tereriums are small so it will be quite a challenge.

Cool orchid! I've got my first set of spikes going after a lot of failed attempts at keeping other orchids going.

Your terrariums are beautiful and now I'm jealous. I couldn't even keep bamboo alive.

I mean if you chose a bamboo variety that loves it outside but hates it inside then it will be a big challenge to keep them alive inside (most bamboos you see growing outside won't like it inside)

Nice! Here, of all my orchids, only the Oncidium Twinkle is in flower.
