Hey all,

This is my first post. I have one each of the following Paphs.
Paphiopedilum deperle - In bloom in the picture, ultimately produced 6 flowers
Paphiopedilum delenatii - In bud in the picture, ultimately produced 5 flowers
Paphiopedilum Fred's Grandeur - in bloom in the picture, produced only 1 flower
Paphiopedilum Wössner Vietnam Love - hidden from view

These are planted directly in Atlanta Botanic Gardens (ABG) mix in a 48" x 18" x 22" high terrarium I set up in December. The terrarium is on an automated misting system using distilled water. I leaf feed about 1x week. The humidity hovers between 85% and 90%. There is a 5" waterproof fan for circulation and grow LEDs with ~1200 watts equivalent output.

I have since removed the EpiWeb background material and replaced it with cork. The other half of the terrarium is just ABG for now. I hope to put a Paphiopedilum armeniacum there as a show plant and plant Mediocalcar decoratum around it in lieu of moss.

Sounds like a really neat setup! Pictures??
I saw a post explaining how to post pictures. I tried a couple different ways and I ended up with links. I'll post some pictures of the build and the terrarium in its current state.

I also do a little close-up photography. I'll post pictures of the ones in the terrarium I've shot
