Tropical accent plants?

Post by Hornet »

Anyone here growing tropical accents? I have seen a number of bonsai with selaginella around the roots and as seperate accents in the brisbane botanic gardens collection and also at the ekka display. Would love to see any orchids, in paticular jewel orchids. Also love peperomia's, begonia's, pilea's so if anyone has used them as accents that would be great to see pics.

Found those "older" pics, the begonia had not yet flowered back then.
