Default Eric's Aussie terrestrial project
Thanks to Charles a few of us were able to put an order together to get Australian terrestrial orchids from Nesbitt's. This is my progress thus far:
Biggest surprise! Diplodium in bark versus in soil!






Corybas, not much to see on top but a party in the pot!

nice! glad to see that the corybas are doing something... the diplodiums in the bark are way different than those in soil, what a difference! most everyone's thelymitras are taller than mine, though I wonder if that's because of the lights I have close over the top

I'm growing everything low light, facing east with a narrow window of direct light.

the diuris I read can grow in full sun, and the pterostylis I saw that they can grow in phal light. the thelymitras I'm assuming can take fairly decent light though I guess it's the heat that makes the flowers open. everything else i'm assuming is lower light like the cyrtostylis and the corybas I read that they would take the shadiest corner of a greenhouse, or a shady windowsill

Would life be more fun if there is an international program (An alternative version of CITES) that all the countries participate in to raise native orchids and selling them freely to all who want them.
Eric, do you have pictures of what their flowers will be like?

Eric, I just check the link you listed.
Wow, that plant is so frugal, being a miniature is not enough, it grows only one leaf and one flower.
