    A few photos of my Pleurothallis niveoglobula. A nice, subtle species - I particularly like the way the flowers are held above the leaf and, not to mention, their resemblance to miniature tulips.

    It is a charming species that can bloom all year on a big plant. Where are you growing your plants?

    I mostly grow my plants in vivariums; this particular species is part of an Ecuadorian biotope in a cylindrical vivarium.

    That's a very elegant species. I would like to see your tank set-ups too.

    Thanks, Zach; I have been browsing this forum for a little while now - it seems a littler slower/more quiet than other forums but there is always some good content/photos being posted - so I thought I might as well join.

    I will make a thread for my cylinder viv. once I get a few updated photos of it - maybe this weekend.

    Hi Marni,

    Here are a few photos of the tank where I'm currently growing this species:

    And, one recent photo from this past weekend (the first two were taken about two months ago - mind you, I added the rest of the P. niveoglobula mount just a few weeks ago):
