begonia 'enclosure'...

[paphioboy]

i just assembled this yesterday... the main purpose is to shelter my begonias from rain as they are sensitive to heavy tropical downpours... i was tempted to put paphs as well, but i do not know which ones will be suitable... if you look hard enough, you can see a jewel orchid (ludisia discolor)...

Very nice, paphioboy. What is in the tray front, center?

 

[paphioboy]

thanks, Grandma M... in the flat pot is liverwort (Marchantia sp.)... my dad, a Biology teacher, wants to show his students cos they've never seen it before... hehe.. =P

Looks like they should be happy there!

I'm sensitive to tropical downpours too..

haha.. then you should live in a glass house too...

What is it Lucite w/ a sheet metal frame?

?? no, its an unused aquarium turned on its side... just like my 'torture' chamber... there is a piece of polystyrene placed below it...

very nice!

I would forget to water them, though, and they'd die of thirst

I've somehow managed to lose the ability to grow cane begonias, so I'm giving them another try.
