i think you're right!!! uncommon to see them not growing under artiificial light isn't it?

 

[Ozpaph]

they have a lot of exotics.
What do they mostly breed (in the flasks)?

A very broad range of species and hybrids, the flasks in the greenhouse are numbered though so not possible to tell what's groing in them. I didn't even bother picking one up.

Didn't want the owner to get upset.
