Today a box with my recent order from Plant Delights Nursery came in the post. They have such interesting and high quality stock. All of the plants in the order are wetland/wet soil varieties that seem promising for riparium culture. Here is an orchid, Bletilla striata that was among seven other plants that I received.



I posted a blog entry with pictures of the other selections.

I will be so interested to see how these plants perform.

Looks like a very very cool plant.

Can't wait to see how it works out with the aquarium

yep, it will be interesting to see what that one days, i found conflicitng information about whether Bletilla really grows as an emergent aquatic or not. i potted up that plant and put it in a dish of water a few days ago. it looks OK so far. i will add a blog post in a while with an update.

i added another new post with pictures from another order that i got:
