What kind of setup do you have? I'm interested in doing a couple of orchid terrariums. I have a modest collection of orchids...about 7, and am hooked of course. I also saw your posts on orchidboard.com about native North American orchids...I have been obsessed with native plants for a decade now, and enjoy propagating them as a hobby. I have had a Fairy Slipper (Calypso bulbosa) that I've managed to keep alive in a pretty jar terrarium. Right now it's dormant but very much alive. :)

Jan, All of my current (tank) orchids are warm-growing orchids, primarily from Madagascar and west Africa. I do not collect, or attempt to grow, native orchids. I photograph them when in blossom. It's been many years since I photographed Calypso bulbosa, but I definitely remeber the experience. It was along the Rogue River Trail in Southern Oregon. Collecting Calypso is still illegal and not encouraged due to the exotic cultural requirements. They must experience total dormancy. They are terrestrial, but the "soil" is really a mix of compost from the forest floor. I have found that natives are best photographed in the wild and left alone.

As for my setup, please check the original posts.
