All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Shew! That's a tiny fella! Good on you for keeping that one alive for a year!

We have around 300 houseplants, but nothing quite this tiny and delicate, other than a handful of her super rare and annoyingly finicky Hoyas!

Thx! This is the second set of leaves it's grown. Eventually, it will have leaves about 4" - 8" long, and cover a large portion of the mango tree, but the first few years for this orchid, it will be pretty small.
