    Unique growing style!!!! Just imagine some of those delightful orchid miniatures adding their seeking air roots to the aesthetic value. Still more inclined with the lightbulbs though, they were just spot on with the wow factor

    Those are so cool. I know they are cute now, but those little plants get big pretty fast. Need much bigger corks soon. hahaha...

    Okay, that's a hoot and cute to boot. (My that rhymed!) Imagine hollowing out the corks was a bit of a pain, but I would expect the lack of space for root growth would limit the top growth greatly.
